Thanks all of you. I'll hammer through those doc's.

One.
Regarding version of perl. I haven't run a perl program yet, what I meant by "version of perl" is that I downloaded the mod in a path associated with perl 5.8.5.

Two.
And related to One. It seems strange to me that @INC would not be influenced by the perl path I am using and I am wondering if anyone knows how @INC is defined. My guess is that it is defined according to the user. If so, it would seem to follow that I could have a zillion versions of perl at my disposal, but @INC is not influenced by the version I am using. Again, in this case, I haven't written a perl program with a shebang line, the version of perl I refer to is that version associated with where I downloaded the mod.

Three.
Just a note that I tried to download the CPAN mod awhile back. It required so many other mods and my attempt was unsuccesful. I don't recall the reason it was unsuccesful. Maybe I'll give that another go.

Thanks!

Tony
