I need to automate some stuff and decided to use perl.

I have cygwin perl and activestate perl.

Below is my attempt. It does not work because I don't have perlIO::gzip installed.

When I tried

/bin/Perl -MCPAN -e 'install PerlIO::gzip'

The tests fail and it won't install.

When I try activestate perl's ppm.bat I don't see an any modules when I search for gzip (except for one called CGI-WebGzip which did not look like what I wanted).

Can someone help me reinvent "tar xvfz"?

Thanks!
Siegfried

Hi All,

I am having trouble with CPAN to update my perl packages. Here is the
error:

[root@gemini ~]# cpan

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602)

ReadLine support enabled

CPAN: Storable loaded ok

CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok

Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64.

Has anyone seen this or have an idea for how to solve it.

Hiya Guys

You guys have been previously helping me with a script.

"Debug Please" Was the title.

It's working as far as we can tell.

But I need to be able to ftp to two machines and pull down xferlog

Therefore each xferlog would be downloaded as xferlog.host.month.log

Then either joined as one and then processed ?

Now sure , What would be the best way to go about that ?

Any directions would be appreciated.

I would post the code, but I am not sure you guys would need a whole
code ....
