Re^6: NET::SMTP on 64 bit

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.
