Maybe; he should still be able to install Bundle::LWP with his Perl instance as long as it's not *that* old. Unless things have changed, the module works at least as far back as Perl 5.4 / 5.004, and that's going back nearly a decade, iirc. If you do choose to upgrade Perl, put the new one in a directory like /usr/local or /opt, and don't tamper with the one that your vendor put in /usr/bin. A lot of system commands are tested against the version of Perl that was shipped with the operating system, and upgrading it can sometimes break backwards compatibility and so break system scripts. It's safer to just put everything in /usr/local and pretend that the system's copy of Perl just doesn't exist... -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
