I was trying to add the libwww-perl-5.64 module to perl on our solaris 8 machine. Reading the information on the module I found we needed others. So far none of the modules has worked. One in particular that hasn't worked is the libnet-1.10.

I'm new to both UNIX systems and Perl, and would appreciate any help. I've read lots of documentation, but am still hopelessly lost.
