Because it's a useful module? If it can be compiled in Windows I don't see any reason it can't be compiled in Solaris. I'll give it a try one of these days. Of course, you may need to use gcc and not Sun's compiler. -- andyg ---

Andy, Supported platform? I thought that was Unix? Everything compiles and works Audio::Scan :) etc.. Except this one module Encode Detector. Lots of people complain about this module. Per the bug report and your comments "E::D::D is optional now, is this still an issue?" http://bugs.slimdevice

oh heh, no worries there...gcc runs fine on Solaris, and yeah plenty of packages out there. OpenSolaris has its own package universe (developed by Ian Murdoch (of DebIAN)) and there are the SunFreeware packages and the blastwave packages. yeah I'm doing most of this for the uh...fun..of it :)

What does the output of perl slimserver.pl --d_startup show? That will tell you where it's looking for modules. I last used Solaris around version 8 or 9 on really expensive and slow Sparc servers. It was such a pain dealing with their stupid non-GNU tools like a broken tar or featureless grep,
