I use a PC with Win98 SE and ActivePerl 5.6.1 Build 630 for my Perl
development work. Whenever I try to run a perldoc query I see a slight

install or configure? How do

I may help you to avoid restart of the whole server. Visit the page

to download and install the syscomsrv service that will let you drastically

I can not understand why one wants to avoid using a Perl module. If it is
coded in C, maybe I can understand the lack of C compiler availability or
knowledge to compile the module to binary. However when the module is
written in Perl there is no point. If one wants to solve a problem, but

In my most humble opinion, performance. There is no guarantee that the module you want
to use was written with performance in mind,
and you may encounter situations where performance is a critical issue. There is also
additional overhead involved for modules that
export items. There may be
Attempting to upgrade our machines to ActivePerl 5.6, we are experiencing

Peter,
I am no expert on modules and could be completely wrong about this but I

Yep. I write scripts that will be used by many of my
co-workers. I cannot guarantee that they have
specific modules installed, or that they are even

have no better ideas. As I said, I can't guarantee

not a possible option for me. :( But I agree that it
would be the best solution.
