Hi there, Last time I downloaded/compiled/installed Net::Telnet and it works fine. Recently on the same HPUX10.20 system I did the same thing with Term::ReadKey. All steps including "make test" were finished all right. When I added "use Term::ReadKey;" on line 5 of my test Perl script and ran it the following message printed on the screeen: Can't load module Term::ReadKey, dynamic loading not available in this perl. (You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports dynamic loading or has the Term::ReadKey module statically linked into it.) at ./test.pl line 6 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 5. Why one module works while the other doesn't? "use Net::Telnet;" is on line 3 but no complaint about it. I checked that Term/ReadKey.pm and Net/Telnet.pm are both under the same site_perl directory. Please help. Many thanks! Guoben Li Netscape
