in reply to How-to install POSIX.pm

The file POSIX.pm is only the perl front end to the file POSIX.XS which is where all the real work is done. To get the POSIX package to wirk requires compileing POSIX.XS.

However, the POSIX package comes as a part of the core distribution and has done for at least the last 3 or 4 releases. Which version of perl are you using that you need to install this yourself?
