THanks alot for the install info. But I would like your opinion for the following questions:
1 - Do you think that it will work without installing the XS? It seems to be working fine but it is giving me a warning message all the time. 2 - DO I need to worry about it messing anything (kernel/perl installation) if I were to compile and install this module? thanks, -rkl > Hi, > > I just took a look at this.
