| jjore | You'll be unhappy if you don't read the docs first though... |
| RiXtEr | http://sial.org/pbot/23827 if you run that as a batch file in windows it will ping a host to see if its up or down |
| jagerman | Actually, $? >> 8 is likely what you're after. It's all in perldoc -f system |
| RiXtEr | jagerman: i am reading it now :) |

| punter | How do I read POST arguments from mod_perl? |
| Jmax- | STDIN? |
| punter | yes :-) found it - thanks |
| gg_ | hi, I'm trying to upgrade cpan by installing Bundle::CPAN (`install Bundle::CPAN` from the cpan prompt), but I get a make error (make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255)... are there any dev packages I need to install before attempting to install modules from CPAN? |
| Jmax- | no, please paste (see topic) the entire output of install Bundle::CPAN |
| xinming | How big is the current CPAN mirror please? I wish to setup a CPAN mirror for local use. |
| infi | xinming: it says right on the cpan homepage. |
| xinming | Sorry for my carelessness. |
| jjore | You know about CPAN::Mini, right? |
| Jmax- | why would you want to mirror CPAN for local use? do you have a large subnet? of which all members need modules installed? |
| gg_ | Jmax-, http://sial.org/pbot/23828 (that's everything I could copy from the buffer, the actual output is more than this) |
| action | jjore keeps a copy so he can grep it. |
| jjore | keeps a copy so he can grep it. |
| Jmax- | Error: IO::Compress::Gzip version 2.004 required--this is only version 2.00 2.001 rather, so update it |
| gg_ | hmmm... isn't it supposed to handle dependencies automatically? if not, how do I tell it to do so? or do I have to install each required module manually? |
| jjore | "it?" |
| gg_ | cpan |
| jjore | CPAN, the shell? Yes, it will install dependencies for you if you have it set to do that. |
| CPAN | jjore: hm? |
| Jmax- | yes, but it won't update it |
| jjore | It'll update things if you ask it to. |
| gg_ | oh I see... thanks. I just did an `install IO::Compress::Gzip` and it went just fine... I'm trying to install Bundle::CPAN now and see if it works |
| jjore | Though that error sounds like it came from something that didn't declare its dependency correctly. |
| gg_ | hmm... this is weird... it still thinks I don't have IO::Compress::Gzip (version 2.004) installed... can you take a look at this please? http://sial.org/pbot/23829 |
| Jmax- | what os is this? |
| gg_ | gentoo linux |
| Jmax- | is that module handled by portage/ |
| jjore | Ok, so you haven't installed it yet. Or have you? |
| gg_ | I did install it. |
| jjore | And the install succeeded? |
