Don't do that. Use the CPAN utility built into Perl. [if your on Windows, try ppm first]. Downloading then installing by hand is really reinventing the wheel. That being said, simple, pure-Perl modules with no need for compilation, can usually be placed anywhere in @INC and work. If you don't know what's in @INC, try: > perl 'perl -e "print $_ for @INC" on 'nix, or path> perl -w perl -e "print $_ for @INC" ^Z [Ctl-Z combination] on Windows/DOS Save yourself some trouble, though, and use the built-in tools for installing modules: > perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.61) ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN') cpan> install MyWantedModule Joseph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
