Hello everyone.
My ISP doesn't have /etc/protocols world readable, and so IO::Socket doesn't work, as getprotobyname and getprotobynumber fail. I am using the Mail::POP3Client wrapper. I am trying to come up with a workaround, and the best I can come up with is a horrendous hack to IO::Socket::INET so that it knows that tcp is protocol 6 and vice versa. My ideal would be to store a local copy of /etc/protocols for Perl, and somehow fool it into resolving there rather then the real one. Does anyone have any tips? I can't modify anything too fundamental with Perl, as I am running their binary. Paul. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
