Chris, Google for Digest-MD5 and Perl and get to this page: http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-MD5-2.31/ where you can download the source for the Perl module: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz and then you can unpack it: $ mkdir -p ~/tmp/Digest-MD5 $ mv Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz ~/tmp/Digest-MD5/ $ cd ~/tmp/Digest-MD5/ $ tar xzvf Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz then proceed to compile and test the module: $ cd Digest-MD5-2.31/ $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test and if everything goes well, install the module (as root): $ su $ make install $ exit That is the process, and if you do that you can address problems with the module easier that you can do so when using the CPAN module. The CPAN module makes everything fast and easy, and for that reason alone you should tread cautiously. ;-) Good luck, Troy >>> cschumann at twp-llc.com 12/01/03 08:38PM >>> > From: "John J.

If I use "perl -MCPAN -eshell" and then "install Digest::MD5" the same thing happens. > 2. The CPAN settings are modifiable.

Thanks for the information, but the perldoc is huge, and I don't have time to learn everything. I found a few Config.pm and MyConfig.pm files, but nothing seemed to have a "installman1" or anything like it. Makefile.PL is used to build Makefile (it says "Writing Makefile for Digest::MD5") and then the make error appears. CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz Testing alignment requirements for U32... no restrictions Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Digest::MD5 Makefile:84: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -j3 -- NOT OK Any other ideas or pointers where to look?
