Install 'aptitude'; it's a nice console-based front-end to APT. This will let you browse through the packages available. Most of the Perl modules are in the 'interpreters' section, and a package for Foo::Bar is generally named libfoo-bar-perl. > thank you. (currently, i am interested in > Mail::POP3Client, and Net::SMTP) Yup, those are both packaged; the first is in in libmail-pop3client-perl, following the pattern, and the second is in the libnet-perl bundle. (Hint: in aptitude, type /~dNet::Perl to search for packages with "Net::Perl" in their descriptions.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
