I back this motion. There are countless programmers out there who keep looking for useful code but would not step forward to ask for it (eg on a list like this). Trust me - I used to be one of them. I spent days writing a tiff to bmp converter because I could not find what half a dozen others must have done before me. Plus, newbies can learn much faster from examples. First look for something that does what you want, then look how it's done. It's much more efficient than experimenting until you found 99% of the side-effects, only to have the first stupid user stumble over the remaining percent that makes your beautiful programm squawk. We could also set up a wonderful knowledge base. Does anybody have experience on how to organise hints and questions (or how-to headlines) so that people can actually find something? |

I would love to set something like the Linux HOW-TOs on my site, easy navigation with a TOC. If we got some material together, I would sit down and put it all togather. erick www.jeb.ca |

hi erick, was trying to run your ftp client. I can't seem to install the net:ftp on a win32 activestate perl. where can i find a net:ftp that will install on win32 . it seems that all modules i get from cpan, i don't know how to install them. Jeremy P.S. i am working on an ftp client as well, using the win32:internet module, as i could not install the net:ftp, but i like the net:ftp module better (more functions). I like your site. |

Thanks a lot, at least there somebody out there that has seen it, and I'm not doing all of this for nothing :) erick never stop questioning www.jeb.ca |

try ppm install libwww-perl. net::ftp is a subset of it. If that dosesn't work your ppm configuration is hosed... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erick J.
