From the docs ClearCase::ClearPrompt`use ClearCase::ClearPrompt qw(clearprompt /TRIGGERSERIES);` Ditch the + and replace with /. Turn on strict and warnings as well. Grygonos	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for the quick reply. I changed to /Triggers and added strict &warnings still no luck, "/Triggerseries is not exported ...." Do i need to use some sort of special export construct for windows clearcase to inherit Triggerseries variable ? at the moment i do not export anything. -Pol	[reply]

Did you try copying the exact line I posted? That's what's listed in the docs for the current version listed on CPAN. Make sure you have the most current version of this module. I just downloaded and installed the newest CPAN version and the use command I posted has no problems. Update das module yah? Grygonos	[reply]

/Triggerseries is not exported .... According to the docs and the source, it has to be in all caps (i.e., `/TRIGGERSERIES`) Grygonos gave you the right answer, just copy it verbatim. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l]
