Re: Re^2: New Module Consideration?

Do you, by any chance, know of a way to get Email::Valid to work on Win32? I have been unable to locate a ppm or use CPAN to install it myself (For that matter, I can't seem to get Net::DNS to install either.)

My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.

I've just used ppm to install Net::DNS on winXP - no problem. Downloaded the source for Email::Valid as Valid.pm into directory C:\Perl\site\lib\Mail. Then tried a simple test of valid/invalid emails -worked. Couldn't get a connection to use the 'check this is a valid host' test though probably I'm not set up correctly or firewall or something. I think you have to run netlibcfg.pl in (c:\perl\bin or wherever.. ) to set up the connections. HTH poj	[reply]

Sounds good, what version of Perl? Problem with activestate PPM's is that ppm won't accept versions built for different versions of perl, I'm using AS-5.8.0 right now. My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features. Flame ~ Lead Programmer: GMS \| GMS	[reply]

Sorry, I have no idea. `:-/` I haven't used a Win32 Perl in one and a half years (can't say I miss it either). Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
