Why: I find that often remote servers (such as webhosting account servers) that are not under one's sole control lack modules the programmer wants, and cannot have them added in the standard path for @INC. This can cause problems when someone wants to use something written by someone else, or write something that makes use of a given module. That's probably why. It's certainly the reason that comes to mind for me. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts." - Paul Graham -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
