in reply to Bundle::LWP Installation Problems

Last time I updated LWP, I needed to install a newer libwww. Try checking its version.

Update: I meant the C libraries from w3c, which LWP wraps. The current version is libwww-5.3.2

    Thanks Zaxo.

    Unfortunately, that is where (in LWP's dependancies) it dies (specificly G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.64.tar.gz) - is there a different one?

    Hmm, are you sure? AFAIK LWP doesn't have any dependacies on this C library and LWP doesn't wrap it or any other C library. In fact it is pure Perl module which cannot have direct dependancies on any C library.

      You're right, but I distinctly remember the occasion. I wonder what really happened? Heisenbug I guess. The funny thing is I told someone else, and it worked for him, too. I haven't located any system calls in LWP. Mystifying.

        *nod* ..and i installed every LWP related port on the system now as well - to no avail. It seems that FreeBSD 4.4 and up have a new security default - to not allow programs to pop services up on un-announced ports. At crazyinsomniac's and MCE's suggestions, I went to the source install and manually started pokeing at it and found that the test was being denied the ability to pop up an HTTP::Daemon! So, problem solved by adding in an allowance for the installer to pop up on its port that it wanted.

        Thanks all, for the suggestions and help.
