Re^2: How to patch modules with CPAN patch releases

Thanks folks for taking the time out of your day to answer my question. I have noted your answers, (--dry-run will forever remain in my brain ;) but, sadly I am still getting error(s) :

With # patch -p1 < patchname.patch

patching file Makefile.PL
Assertion failed: hunk, file .\src\patch\2.5.9\patch-2.5.9-src\patch.c, line 354
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I am not sure how to proceed...

Then I guess your patch program is broken. I have never managed to make patch abort with such an error. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]

Sadly, time is against me to chase up a patch for patch. But, its happy days because I was able to install Net::Pcap on activestate Perl after adding the bribes.org repository. I now have some code in place grabbing the packets from the network as desired, and with the help of the Net::Pcap tutorial on this site :) Again, thank you folks for you help, I move forward with my developments. Have a nice day !	[reply]
