in thread NET::SMTP on 64 bit

Hello again bdegan2,

You can use the module Module::CoreList to find all the information that you are looking for.

Sample of code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Module::CoreList;

if (Module::CoreList::is_core('Net::SMTP')) {
    say "Net::SMTP is a core module";
    say Module::CoreList->first_release('Net::SMTP');
}

__END__

$ perl test.pl
Net::SMTP is a core module
5.007003

Hope this helps, BR.

    Thanks for all the info. I will pass this on to the developer doing the upgrade. He will be back in tomorrow. I apologize for not getting the appropriate answers back, since I have been fighting other fires today :( But you all have been great and I thank you.

    Unfortunately once these servers are in place it will take a miracle to get upgraded. Although the 32 bit server has the same Perl and the upgrade to Net::SMTP version 3.10 worked: oh01lx03:/prod/run/hip73977/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall We are scheduled to be moved to new servers later this year (hopefully!) Is Net::SMTP all Perl code? Could we somehow copy the Net::SMTP that was installed on the 32bit server and install it on the 64 bit ? Thank you for trying to assist

      Unfortunately once these servers are in place it will take a miracle to get upgraded.

      What about a serious security problem? Or several?

      At work, I know that several old servers have several serious security problems, including the second firewall that should protect the network. Updates are planned for all of the servers and the firewall, but the updates won't happen until one of us finds some time to switch from developer to sysadmin or a really f*ing big security issue pops up that needs an immediate fix.

        Hello everyone who helped on this

        The developer doing the actual Perl upgrade sent this to me today

        On a Whim, I checked for Net::SMTP availability from oh01lxvs02 today, it is available now (see below).
        Yes, it’s available from the other linux servers too. I have absolutely no idea why we could not get this the other day.
        The other module installed normally.
        Also, the author is listed as gbarr, even listing all modules by author still doesn’t show Net::SMTP in his list.
        My only guess would be a glitch in CPAN or a while creating the local repo listings?

        Thanks again for all your help on this.

    Ok, I received this not from the developer doing the Perl install of Net::SMTP on the 64 bit Linux server. 
    perl  -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SMTP'

    [download]
    I got the “don't know what it is.” warning

    I also tried (NET was used in one of our earlier emails even though Net::SMTP was installed on the dev server):

    After looking up the names of the 2 authors (Graham Barr gbarr@pobox.com andSteve Hay shay@cpan.org): 

    perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
cpan[1]> ls gbarr  (Net::SMTP was not in his list…Net::TFTP, Net::SNPP
+ and Net::PH were listed)
cpan[3]> ls shay (Net::SMTP was not in his list, nothing with Net was 
+listed)

    [download]
    Searching for the module: 
    cpan[10]> m Net::SMTP
No objects of type Module found for argument Net::SMTP

    [download]
    And, I tried this just in case: 
    cpan[11]> m NET::SMTP
No objects of type Module found for argument NET::SMTP

    [download]
    Is there any other commands that we should run to install the Net::SMTP on the 64 bit server?
