Ahhhh, bugger! I see. Perhaps you could include the module via the script using 'use' if the module is installed somewhere on the NFS share like so: use lib qw(/mountpoint/path/to/module); I don't know if there are any restrictions with NFS, but it's worth a try. ry > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
