How? Carefully. (Hint: that's not a Perl question, so this is the wrong place to ask. If you have general Unix questions, I suggest picking up a good book on it. _Unix Power Tools_ is superb, and should have sections on this sort of thing. If that book or one like it can't help you, find a Unix using friend in your area that can show you which config file to poke.) > 2.

You're downloading to your local terminal, not the remote host on which you want to install it. That doesn't really help you. Download it on the remote side, or better still, just run the CPAN shell remotely and have it do the download and install for you. > Is there a way to download the module and load it into the > unix ? Yes. See above. -- Chris Devers !¨1×oº³ÐÑ
