Well, if you don't like any of the suggestions that have been made so far, you might try taking the source POSIX.xs from the source 5.00402 and recompile it. This may involve recompiling other modules to resolve dependencies. But still, technically this will be a "correct" way.
Look, everyone here wants to help you, but you have a hopeless situation. Perhaps you should try a little harder to convince the management to upgrade Perl on the server to a more modern version (if binary compatibility is a problem, 5.6.1 should be good), or write a script that doesn't use POSIX. For the snippet shown in POSIX.pm and Perl 5.004_02 - Compatible?, this should be easy. | [reply] |
Changinig the version of PERL on our Business Server IS NOT AN OPTION.
Sure, people have suggested you upgrade (change the version), but 5.004_02 (apparently the one on your server)
is still readily available, so just reinstall it (and I do mean REINSTALL IT).
I would simply like to know how to install POSIX.pm correctly. I believe that was the question I posted this morning.
I already answered that at Re: Re: Re: POSIX.pm and Perl 5.004_02 - Compatible?.
Did you read perlmodinstall and A Guide to Installing Modules?
Were you confused by anything?
