Hi - sent a message to someone at perl.com - they (the
mail system) returned it saying yahoo.co.uk was a spam
site :-)

I had help about a week ago from hp.mathieu@wanadoo.fr
and he sent me the actual LWP::simple.pm file -
Thankyou.

But from that module, I need to obtain other module(S)
for it to run.

Q. I now have the GZIP utility - Can "un-zip" the *.GZ
files.

Can someone advise the correct directory, (other than
what is quoted in the message below), that I can
d/load the module(s) I need / want - WITHOUT
installing the entire PERL processing system on my
HDD.

Thankyou.
Gordon.

Here is a copy of my message to perl.com (returned) :-

> Hello 
> 
> BRIEF :- Basically - I'm using a Windows 3.x system,
& have no need to run PERL on my actual PC.

What I DO want, is to d/load *JUST* the modules that I
need / want, & upload them to my site (which allows
CGI / PERL).

1st part - Problem :-
2nd part :- Solution / Question.
 
****************************************************
Problem / Solution.

Ive looked in your http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local//
site. and *I KNOW* the module I want / need - EG (in
this case - HTTP::Simple.pm)

I want to do a search for that module, and be able to
just save it to my disk & upload to my site - without
any fuss.

I find The options of :-
"The module list  ..
  ..
  The Modules" (*)

I click this - which takes me to :-

http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local//modules/00modlist.long.html#Part2-ThePerl5M

Now - you page-down several times - and begin to see a
long list of module types.

I look for "HTTP::" - and find the HTTP::Status module
"::Status   Rmpf HTTP Status code processing  LWWWP"
I click on the LWWP part - 'clickable' - I EXPECT to
be able to d/load that module.

This takes me to the :-
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local//authors/00whois.html#LWWWP

section - mailing lists *ABOUT* CGI / PERL - not the
module itself.

- I try this on all the options youve got - &
sub-menus in the directories at your site.
******************************************************

QUESTION / SOLUTION REQUESTED :-

:- Is there a place where I can d/load the actual
modules - in ZIP format ? - or INDIVIDUALLY.

EG - I D/load  HTTP.ZIP - and un-zip it - I now have
ready-to-go files - to upload to my site - all of the
HTTP:: variety.

- As I'm using the MS-DOS format - I can only use
files with 8 or less characters.
A ZIP format of files may be time-consuming for you to
do to up-date / convert to MS-DOS format - but if I
could d/load the modules INDIVIDUALLY, I can re-name
them to whatever i wanted, to suit my directory
structure.
