Can you install
Library for WWW access in Perl or Libwww-perl?

Lloyd's comments
Ok im looking into it now, from what I am reading it may not be usable with SSL certs without a patch (looking into that as well).


Please email lloyd@lloyd.co.nz

If your ISP does not know how to compile Perl modules, you really need to find a new hosting company/ISP. Tell them to access www.cpan.org and read the documentation about LWP.

From Lloyd

ok checked and it will not work with SSL making it a problem as we run both servers for you on the one machine. To implement would require adding a machine just to do the SSL which is costly as there are only 4 SSL clients on this machine.

Its not practicle at this point, and has a few bugs ill send a message to the creator and see if he can give me some ways to make it stable.

Can anyone help him?

Just read some more of this message.

Its not a compiling problem, I wish it was. I read through the entire Cpan docs thats why it concerns me, its not the library thats the problem its that it can make the server unstable and I do not want on my head all your clients crashing just to get an unstable bit of code working. We already run perl 5.000 on the server.

its not just a matter of installing libwww we need the following as well

Digest::MD5 0 not found at (eval 1) line 221.
HTML::HeadParser 0 not found at (eval 1) line 221.
MIME::Base64 2.1 not found at (eval 1) line 221.
FTP 2.4 not found at (eval 1) line 221.
URI 1.03 not found at (eval 1) line 221.

All must be compiled and installed before libwww can be installed.

Im looking at a full day to do it, if its not in beta stage and if the bugs are fixed.


the problem im having with Cpan is as follows
Help

No modules found matching 'MIME-Base64'

and its happening for half the libraries we need to install libwww

Good. Hey...don't get testy with me...I am trying to help. And the plain fact of the matter is that if your hosting company cannot compile software for their clients to use, then that it is NOT a good sign in terms of server resources and technical support.
