Hi, I'm not sure if mailing to this list is the right way of getting help, if not I apologize in advance. I'm trying to write a client for dos that talk to a java servlet and given all the libraries available for perl I decided to use djgpp/perl. This is what I did: 1. I downloaded perl542b.zip and csdpmi5b.zip 2. I set LFN=y in my autoexec.bat and I rebooted my machine 3. I unzipped the files with -w in a c:\perl 4. I set PER5LIB=c:\perl\lib\lib5 and PATTH=%PATH%;C:\PERL\BIN 5. I replaced all the c:\djgpp occurrences in c:\per\lib\perl5\Config.pm with c:\perl 6. reboot
When I try to my program: use IO::Socket; $host = "www.sun.com"; $remote = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto=>"tcp",PeerAddr=>$host,PeerPort=>"http(80)") or die "Cannot connect to $host"; $remote->autoflush(1); print $remote "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\n\n"; while(<$remote>){ print } close $remote; I get Can't locate Socket.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\PERL\LIB\PERL5 c:/perl/lib/per l5 c:/perl/lib/perl5/site c:/perl/lib/perl5/site .) at C:\PERL\LIB\PERL5/IO/Sock et.pm line 113. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\PERL\LIB\PERL5/IO/Socket.pm line 113. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Client.pl line 1. Do you have any idea why?
