Re: [Slashcode-general] 500 errors on admin.pl?op=edit

[Josh S. <sla...@st...>]

 perl -MSlash::Test=slashusr -le 'print getObject("Slash::Blob")'
Error:main:-e:1:Can't locate MIME/Types.pm in @INC 

**grumble**


cpan> install MIME::Types

perl -MSlash::Test=slashusr -le 'print getObject("Slash::Blob")'
Slash::Blob=HASH(0x806323c)

Huzzah!

And more importantly, it now works.  Thanks very much for the help.  Why
MIME::Types wasn't installed.... dunno, not going to concern myself with
such things.  I'll just enjoy the fact that it works now.

Thanks once again to Jamie and Shane.
