Yes, thank you, but that part is old hat. What I'm looking for is if anything is different when I simply install the tarballs? How do I automate the install of a bunch of modules. Is it enough to just install the tarballs, or will there be dependencies that I have to trace down first? If so what is the best way to do that? I did notice during install that it said something like All OK. Then on one it gave a warning saying that some other module was needed. -- Bobby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
