Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're users are accessing (something) via a terminal, wouldn't they all be accessing a central system? In other words, your script would reside on a *NIX box (for argument's sake) whose environment would include Perl and the relevant modules, correct? -- Jeff japhy Pinyan% How can we ever be the sold short or RPI Acacia Brother #734% the cheated, we who for every service http://www.perlmonks.org/ % have long ago been overpaid? http://princeton.pm.org/ %-- Meister Eckhart -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response

Nope, the script is on an NFS mounted fileserver, but each is running them on a local workstation, so each user is using /usr/bin/perl on their local machine. - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response

Perhaps you could include the module via the script using 'use' if the module is installed somewhere on the NFS share like so: use lib qw(/mountpoint/path/to/module); I don't know if there are any restrictions with NFS, but it's worth a try. ry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response
