It looks like ActiveState does not have this module prepackaged. If you pay for support you may be able to get them to package it for you; however, it is a pure Perl module so you can install it yourself manually or using CPAN. To install with CPAN run the following: perl -MCPAN -e "install File::Tail" and answer any questions it asks you. To install manually download these two files The module: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MG/MGRABNAR/File-Tail-0.99.3.tar.gz a make utility for Microsoft OSes http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe * Decompress nmake15.exe * put nmake.exe in a directory in your path (C:\windows\system32 is good) * Decompress File-Tail-0.99.3.tar.gz (winzip can handle tarballs) * change directory into the resulting directory and type "perl Makefile.PL". This will create the makefiles that nmake will use test and install the module * type "nmake". This will build the installation directory and create the documentation * type "nmake test". This will run any tests the Module author has written to make sure the module works. * type "nmake install". This will install the module in your Perl library. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
