Can anyone suggest either: a way to make IO::Socket::INET work in the simplest possible way on 5.005; or a way to install the smallest possible 5.8; or something I haven't thought of? Any suggestion (no matter how crazy!) is welcome... -Chris
Ok, here's for the crazy class of suggestion...
How about compiling it on another machine, and *not* putting Perl on the space-limited system? There are two (experimental, throughly test before actually using) 'modules' that generate C code: B::C and B::CC. You call them as direct from the Perl command line:
perl -MO=C $perlscript
I have never had a need to use these, and they are listed as experimental, but they will save you a Perl install if they work.
