install libwww module

[rubis]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install this module. I've already installed all recommend pacakges (HTML:arser, URI, MIME-Base64, libnet, Digest-MD5).

Once I type "perl Makefile.PL", there's nothing happened even I've been waiting for more than 20 mins. When I debug it, the program stuck at this line

my $s = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr =>"

http://www.google.com:80",

Timeout => 10, );

I don't know what's going on. Pls give me some suggestion

Rubis,

Looks like you have to be connected to the internet and able to download a web page from Google while you install this module.

Are you connected etc? Mike

yes, I do. But I don't know whether I have a problem with the proxy or not. I don't know how to test it either.

What about running a web server on your local machine and modifying that script to point to that instead? Mike

how?? Do I have to install Apache??

yes, that's what I'd do - quite easy though, and it will display a default home page as well
