I am working on AIX 5.3 and wanted to try use WWW::Mechanize to access
some web sites.

I Installed Perl and then ran "cpan". I am not sure I ran everything
correctly and would like to clear off the first "cpan" config and run
another. The main issue is where "cpan" was installed and I have some
issues with the "cpan" urls.

How do I cleanly remove the first install and start over?

Hi,

I have been doing work on trying to adapt a program that has been
using IO::Socket::INET up until now to use IO::Socket::INET6. In doing
so I had a few questions. I hope this is the right place to ask them.

- Currently IPv6 support is provided through IO::Socket::INET6 as
opposed to being directly part of IO::Socket::INET. Are there any
reasons why the IPv6 support could not be migrated up to the package
being extended. Is this also something that is likely to be done only
once IPv6 is the norm?

- In converting an application, that has been using IO::Socket::INET
to use IO::Socket::INET6, are there any issues that people have
encountered or breakages that I should watch out for? Assuming an IPv4
address is probably one point, but I would be curious to know if there
are others.

Some sort of agreement should be necessary from *current*

to step on toes of active developers.

I don't want to go off and have another interface without cleaning
up the one that is *most* visible, and most advertised in the process.

Some possible guidelines:

1) adding separate domain names (may go to same site but with different
params used for search and such) "archive.cpan.org" and "devel.cpan.org".

Hi,
New to list and couldn't find any references in the archives, google isn't
helping much either... Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing
this error anytime I try to install a module?

*Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::gzopen called at (eval 89) line 5722.

Compress::Zlib is up to date.

Hello,

I'm a bit new to perl, but I think I'm experiencing a very strange
behavior in perl.
findnodes() gives me an Invalid expression only on perl which comes
with the distribution on SuSE 10.3, RHEL4 and RHEL 5.1.

But if I compile the entire perl by myself it doesnt occur and works
just find.
I tried with different versions of perl and XML-Lib but no difference.

Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::LibXML;
use Getopt::Std;
use vars qw/$opt_x/;

{ # main

I've subscribed to this forum however, I have not seen any traffic.
Anybody here that might be able to help out a newbie

Hi,

For the first time when installing the bundle I got an error. It did complete
a dozen other modules but failed on the test as you can see below. It seems I
could either try to reinstall (which I did a few times and it always fail at
the same test) or remove it. Which I have no idea of how to do.

There no doubt are a lot of writeups on Perl and cpan, I just can't seem to
find the proper solution to this error. I've done maybe a 100 installs and it
never failed like this before. Usually the only problem is reaching some
server.

Hello,

When I updated a cpan module's data file (not the module itself),for
example,the IP::ChinaISP module's IP-ISP database,do I always need to
change the module's version?I want that this module's user always get
the newest data file when he execute `install IP::ChinaISP` under CPAN
shell,even he has installed it before.

Thanks!
