Curses is a CPAN module, correct? I have an office-full of users here, most of which will not not have that module installed on their workstations. What's the best way to do something like that? Can I have my perl script install that module on their machines? Or can I simply embed that module within my script somehow? - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
