in reply to ksh like menu in perl.

Thanks for your response everyone. Unfortunately I do not have permission to install the new module you mention. However, immediately after i posed this question. I googl'd for it, and found the answer in another post. http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=186913 The select.pl mentioned there, works for me :-). regards, shobhit

    If that script does the trick, more power to you, but you shouldn't limit yourself from using CPAN modules just because you don't have administrative access to install the modules formally. You can always just install them locally in your own directory and:

    use lib '/my/script/directory'; use That::CPAN::Module;
    Here's the trick to the manual install, although I usually just run make and copy the files from the blib/lib directory created.
    perl -e 'split//,q{john hurl, pest caretaker}and(map{print @_[$_]}(joi +n(q{},map{sprintf(qq{%010u},$_)}(2**2*307*4993,5*101*641*5261,7*59*79 +*36997,13*17*71*45131,3**2*67*89*167*181))=~/\d{2}/g));'
