Re: Finding CPAN modules (was Re: libwww-perl-5.805 install problems)

Hi, J:

 Thanks.  I see how that web page works now.
It is very alien.  I have never seen a web interface like that before.

The complaint specifies that Compress::Zlib 1.10 is missing and
that web page's search for Compress::Zlib
only returns Compress-Zlib-2.001.tar.gz 
<http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-2.001.tar.gz>.  
:-|

 I have since found Compress-Zlib-1.10.tar.gz at another site.

 I am using Slackware v11.0, kernel 2.6.17.13, but I do not
know how to make its package manager 'fetch'.

Again, Thanks.

Chuck
