There are two reasons this is not going to work.

First, "SelectSaver" has more than 8 letters in it, so DJGPP Perl is going
to be unable to read SelectSaver.pm.  It will try to read a file named
SelectSa.pm instead.  Good old DOS.  This is why I had to name my modules
like "Unattend::Inifile" and not "Unattended::Inifile".

Second, and more problematic, DJGPP Perl does not support sockets. Run
"perldoc perldos" (even on your Linux machine) and read the section about
"Shortcomings of Perl under DOS".  Fixing this would be hard, I think; you
would have to teach Perl to use the MSCLIENT network stack.

This is yet another thing which a Linux-based boot disk would fix. Maybe I
will start playing with one this weekend.
