Re^7: NET::SMTP on 64 bit

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall

Hmmmm. That's more than a decade old, which in IT terms is practically pre-cambrian. Have you considered upgrading?

Hello hippo. 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	[reply]

Essentially you have 2 choices: either fix your broken CPAN installation or just install the dist by hand. I would do the latter, viz: Download the tarball Untar it `perl Makefile.PL` Resolve any unmet dependencies `make && make test && sudo make install` You may want to install it somewhere other than the default, so set PERL_MM_OPT first if so.
