RE: How much time do you spend at Perlmonks? (personal web proxy)

Very cool program. I just tried it on my NT workstation and it does not work. Seems that ActiveState perl does not have the NetServer::Generic module. Probably because of forking?

Does anybody know if it's possible to download a ppm of this module for NT?

NetServer::Generic is pure perl, so you can install it by hand if you download it from CPAN. To do this just download from CPAN, create a NetServer folder in your site library directory (usually C:\Perl\site\lib) and drop the Generic.pm package there. I have used this module under NT in the past but I haven't tested this program on it. If it doesn't work then you may be able to rewrite the program to do without NetServer::Generic, as fork (a pseudofork) is implemented on Perl for Win32.	[reply]
