Below is a previous off-list email regarding my experiences earlier this year trying to install MARC::Charset and was the basis for the above editorial comment. I include myself in the category of "casual" Perl user, so there may very well be something I did wrong or was overlooking. -- Michael > -----Original Message----- > From: Doran, Michael D > Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 4:14 PM > To: 'Ed Summers' > Subject: MARC::Record v2.0 & MARC::Charset > > Hi Ed, > > Just wanted to give some feedback on installation of your > MARC modules... > > My environment: > Solaris 9 4/04 > Perl 5.8.7 (configured with all defaults) > > As part of setting up a test server, I am doing a fresh > Solaris 9 install.
