Hi I installed perl.dbd.mysql-1.22.15.0 from www.bullfreeware.com after which I was getting the error which I had posted yesterday Should I install Perl only from the CPAN site. I tried it and got the error: Please, install Net::FTP as soon as possible. CPAN.pm installs it for you if you just type install Bundlelibnet Issuing "/usr/bin/ftp -n" ftp: Unknown host ftp.perl.org Not connected. Thanks very much
