I have ActivePerl 5.8.4.810on win98se and I am trying to install
LWP:UserAgent I downloaded the tar file from cpan.org and extracted the
files into my c:/perrl/bin directory putting them in a folder of their own
in the bin directory, I ran perl makefile after browsing to the directory
the LWP:UserAgent folder were extracted to, however LWP::UserAgent doesn't
seem to work, is there anything I have missed?

I don't use Windows myself, but as I understand it, installing modules from
source can be particularly troublesome on 98/ME. Doesn't ActiveState offer
LWP as a pre-compiled PPM?

I think LWP::UserAgent comes as standard with ActivePerl - ie you should
already have it. Remove the entire directory you created, and if you haven't
stomped on the original LWP::UserAgent it should work ok. You can test that
it's there, and accessible by running:

perl -MLWP::USerAgent -le "print $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION"

(which, I think, should report '2.031'.)

Cheers,
Rob

it says 2.033
I am wondering if I have tried to reintall it again after having it
pre-intalled with actrive perl might have messed it up

Well .... if it says that, then it's quite possibly working ok (though you
have a different version than what's on my build 810). If there is some
problem with your LWP::UserAgent then running that command would probably
have produced an error message

Can you provide a simple script that demonstrates the problem you're
having - and also provide a copy'n'paste of the error messages produced.

Yes, it might be messed up - but until we see what the problem is, we can
only speculate .... and I don't feel like covering every possible scenario
:-)

Cheers,
Rob
