And when I type "search Mail-Box" at the ppm> prompt I get the following hits:

Searching in Active Repositories
   1. Mail-Box                 [2.048] E-mail handling
   2. Mail-Box-Parser-C        [3.003] C parser for Mail::Box
[download]

Yes, those are the versions that I have already installed. They came from the 'default' repositories when I used PPM

Make sure that you address your questions in Seekers of Perl Wisdom to the community at large, and not just to me. You will get farther with the help of the collective wisdom of the monastery rather than my hit-and-miss experience.

Sorry, I don't understand ? I've always posted my (original) posts/questions to "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" , and then as people have replied, I then always select the "reply" link, and I can always see all the posts (nodes) in _that_ thread. Don't these show up in the "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" ??

Thanks,

Peter
