A couple of questions...

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the last version of Infobot (a quite funny IRCbot
written in 100% perl).

I managed to get some of the earlier versions up and running except that
they wouldn't save the factoids that they were supposed to save when the
script was terminated.

Latest version seems to have changed a lot, it now comes with a
Makefile.pl. When I try to execute that here is what follows:


*wimpslot 4000K
*dir raFS::Perl.$.!Perl.Infobot-0/49_03
*raFS::Perl.$.!Perl.Infobot-0/49_03.Makefile/PL

Please inform the author.

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "/PerlArchLib:/CORE/perl.h")

Are my paths set up wrong?

The last line suggests that we miss something vital in !Perl, is this
true?

Infobot can be found at http://www.infobot.org/, a nice one in action
can be met on #danmark on IRCnet, by the name of Mimer. Try for instance
/msg Mimer Hello or /msg Mimer Weather EGLL

cheers
