in thread Turning off carp(fatalsToBrowser) [briefly]?

3.01 doesnt handle authenticating SMTP properly. 3.01_03 should do so. As I said, the feedback ive recieved has been minimal, and work obligations have prevented me from really testing it thoroughly.

I suggest you download it from search.cpan.org (MIME::Lite 3.01_03) as the CPAN shell makes downloading DEV releases a bit difficult.

Also, I prefer and am glad that you do/did reply here. If you /msg it or if I email you then the record is lost from the monastery, which means I have to help more people individually instead of them being able to help themselves by searching here. Feel free to email me if you have something specific to discuss, like issues/bugreports with 3.01_03, but otherwise public communication which can be referenced after the fact is by far the better way to deal with issues like this.

Cheers,

    Hi demerphq and other meditators,

    I've downloaded it and would like to install it. Instructions are as ever:
    perl makefile.pl
    make test
    make install
    Or instead of the last line, even better is
    make install TEST_VERBOSE=1

    Regrettably, I don't have nmake on my machine. I've only ever installed the modules using user-friendly utilities that just download and install modules/packages from activestate repository or wherever. I don't know how they work but I assume they install pre-compiled windows binaries somehow. Is there some repository I can go to to get 3.01_03 in this way?

    I expect not. I don't entirely understand why PERL lib downloads need to be compiled - I thought that PERL was an interpreted language. I understand that one might wish to compile a script to make it faster but it seems odd that compilation is compulsory. Can't I just include the source into my script somehow? (no doubt, a naive question...). Perhaps some other shaven-heads have some thoughts on this to enlighten my foolish soul.

    Sorry if this is all rather pathetic...

    James.
