assuming that you are as concerned about 'viri' - you might want to ship your email as 'plain text' - so that those of us who are even MORE paranoid than you do not have to do OpSec Work to deconstruct your rich text attachments..... but on to your questions: The net::Foo is in http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=libnet the cheeseballs are up to 1.12 - fremonge.... but the changelog says these are about Net::SMTP and Net::FTP - so essentially not that different from the 1.11 release I run on darwin|solaris|linux. If you download the source you can do any and all checking that you feel required prior to installation system wide. { those of you from the BUNDLE and Autoload.... I love you, you are wonderful folks.... but.... see caveat below....} { for additional fun, if you are bored, scope out the NSA's release of their modifications to the linux kernel and see if you can find the space aliens. } CPAN style modules come with the basic perl Makefile.PL make make test make install model for product upgrading. so we presume that you already have your own secured compiler and make utilities to begin with that have been vetted by your OpSec team - if not, check with them as to who is vetting your source code system... ciao drieux --- How Paranoid is the drieux???? You really do not want to know. But let's just say that I had to explain to the wankers who use to laugh and giggle about wearing their 'this is a weapons grade technology' T-shirts - that its a bit late in the game for them to be concerned about getting trapped out at the Airport because they made some NationalAngstList due to the fact that their email address and name are all over so many pieces of code on the net.... DID these folks listen to me about 'tear off identities' and the maintenance of off shore accounts not in american dollars..... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
