I have tried to install a module into Net. it was TFTP for ftp(get put etc). When i ran make install it put it in its own directory in my /usr/local/bin but said it was placed into /user/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/auto/Net/TFTP/.packlist. I have never installed an extra module but I did follow instructions in the Cookbook. What do I do now?

I'm not familiar with this particular module, but I've used many other modules in the past, and the principles are the same.<br><br>Because you've had to compile some code to native binaries as part of making the module, the "make install" places the module into the "site_perl" directory. This is to help you if you have multiple perl installations, all sharing a common NFS mounted "lib/perl5" directory. You won't try to run, say, a Solaris module under SCO Unixware.<br><br>So, the module should now be available for you to use. Try running "perldoc Net::TFTP" to view the on-line docs. To use the module in your code simply insert a "use Net::TFTP" line near the beginning of your code. Then follow the instructions provided with the module to actually use it.<br><br>Hope this helps. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
