Well, you don't really need it as long as you have the autoloaded
definitions already. (i.e. *.al in the /PERLLIB/auto tree) After trying
w/o success to install libwww on NT, I just installed it on a unix box and
copied some of the files over. You also have to change the "use_alarm"
flag (it may actually be a slightly different name, I can't remember
precisely) from 1 to 0 in UserAgent.pm. I've done this on several NT and
95 boxes running 5.003 build 303 and it works w/o a hitch. If you'd like
the necessary files, let me know and I'll mail them directly to you.
Perhaps Gisle could consider making this information available on the
libwww web site?
