I have found that the easiest way to do this by far is to use CPAN::Mini and burn a local copy of CPAN to a CD. You might even get away with your USB stick if it is big enough - 512M might still be enough. See http://www.perladvent.org/2004/5th/ Do the same when you need to upgrade something. I managed to install svk and a bunch of other stuff in this fashion without problem. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
