this would mess me up also replace the slash with two colons perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install MIME::Lite
after i get past that hurdle i have to be sure it passes all its tests and when it doesnt i have to find out why and fix it usually in directory /home/<you>/.cpan/build/<package_name>/ is more information sometimes the tests are in a 't' directory under the main directory good luck randy ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Beginners Perl Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 4:48 PM Subject: Using CPAN.pm to Install Modules Hello, All: I'm confounded by CPAN.pm's documentation. I've already configured the module but can't figure out how to 'install' a module. e.g., MIME::Lite. Starting with... %> perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> i MIME/Lite .....tells me that there's a distribution called MIME/Lite BUT... cpan> install MIME/Lite .....tells me that the author MIME/Lite could not be found. How can I install this module/distribution? -- Eric P.
