I tried to get it from cpan, but some of it wasn't there, like NetSet.pm, and Util::Progress, which was apparently in 2 pieces, I found a Util.pm and a Progress.pm. I've got yum looking, but it looks like fedora.legacy is down for the count. I gave it this argument, and got this back: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i386]# yum install perl-Mail* Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora.us Extras (Stable) Server: Fedora.us Extras (Testing) Server: Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Macromedia for i386 Linux Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers iptstate-0-1.3-0.fdr.3.2. 100% |=========================| 2.0 kB 00:00 Cannot find a package matching perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0-1.i386.rpm No actions to take I was surprised to see it had expanded the name. I wonder if cpan has that whole package as an rpm, 'twould make things a bit cleaner. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
