Here you go. If you're going to install it too, look into using CPAN.pm... an example is: `shell> perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::AIM'` [download] Enjoy! -- Casey	[reply] [d/l]

I got it ok. Try this link http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/Net-AIM-0.01.tar.gz You might want to check out the CPAN module. It can automate a lot of the leg work for installing new modules for you. /\/\averick	[reply]

search.cpan.org is much more friendly than www.cpan.org. And as above, make sure you install CPAN.pm first, it's a standard ./configure; make; make test; make install deal... you'll have to specify a bunch of config options, but nothing tricky. Cheers, Mark	[reply]
