Hello everyone. My ISP doesn't have /etc/protocols world readable, and so IO::Socket doesn't work, as getprotobyname and getprotobynumber fail.
I am using the Mail::POP3Client wrapper. I am trying to come up with a workaround, and the best I can come up with is a horrendous hack to IO::Socket::INET so that it knows that tcp is protocol 6 and vice versa. My ideal would be to store a local copy of /etc/protocols for Perl, and somehow fool it into resolving there rather then the real one. Does anyone have any tips? I can't modify anything too fundamental with Perl, as I am running their binary. Paul. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
