Thanks for pointing this out. When I first joined this mailing list, there were only a few mailing lists: this one, announce and bug discussion. I didn't realize that there were this many additions. In truth, this is the best general perl discussion list I've run across so I tend to put my questions here unless I'm involved with a more specific mailing list (ie Perl DBI). But I'll will subscribe to the unix list for those related questions. >And for linux/Apache questions, I would heartily recommend the >comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup on Usenet. I'm a bit pessimistic about Usenet now adays since the signal to noise ratio is so much higher than it was from the days when I first started using the intenet (early 90's). But I'll keep in mind for my problems. >They may use tough love on >occasion, but if you show your work and can accept constructive criticism, >you'll do fine there.

I'm aware of the differences. I've done a little of my homework and know what I can and can't ask. I know enough about perl to be dangerous and so the problems I every ask about are ones where I've exausted my perl docs and online help that I can find (at least I hope I have.. *s*) > >[2] Yes, you are right on point #2. You need to install File::Spec >first. So do it: I really should have interpreted it as such but I didn't believe that it that specifically. The error sounded to me like there was a problem with File::Spec, not that it was missing. But like I said this is my first time installing with CPAN and I'm new to the unix os in general, but I'll learn. >Then try installing HTML::Template again and see how things go. Good and bad.. but I'll leave that to another mailing list :) Thanks Joel _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
