This is the equivalent of: % perl -e 'use CPAN;' 'CPAN::Shell->i;' Which doesn't work either (each bit of code needs a '-e'). Anyway, I missed the opening of this thread, but it seems strange to open up a subprocess like this. Can't you just use the CPAN::Shell methods right in the main script? -- Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
