I downloaded the latest PM from cpan and installed in onto Mandrake 8.0 running Perl 5.6.0 I did the Makefile.pl, etc and the make test... Now, I can not run the test file given to me, nor can I run any script I write from scratch.. Either way, I get the same error: can't connect to irc.XXXX.XXXX:6667! at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/IRC.pm line 192 So from this error, I'm assuming there's something wrong with the pm? Has anyone else run into this type of problem and is there an easy way to get this to work? Thanks Carter
