Re^2: Socket Traffic Cop

Turns out to be solaris... they won't let me install POE. Could you give me any tips on how to install a localized (to my home dir) perl dist for solaris ? I see that many modules POE requires are not in the prod perl dist that I can't touch.
I might be able to use a linux box to do this and route the solaris ports, thanks for the tip.

Did you read the INSTALL file, and the platform specific readme file?	[reply]

YES. There is an update to IO that is required that I am not allowed to make. You can move on to other threads, click the hide tab on this one.	[reply]

"There is an update to IO that is required that I am not allowed to make." Then I guess it's time you raise this issue with the powers that be at your place of work. When building Perl for our clients fleet of Solaris servers I had to get the sysadmins to update various components, gcc and build tools among others. I appreciate that sometimes it can be difficult to state a case within certain organisations, depending on the policies surrounding such matters. I'm sure you'll find a strategy which works for your situation. "You can move on to other threads, click the hide tab on this one." Why the hostility? You realise you're asking for advice on a public forum? People don't even need an account here to reply to you. Also, my browser has no 'hide tab'.	[reply]
