Subject: [cobalt-users] A little help with MIME

I have installed PerlDesk 1.5.5 and everything went ok except when I try
to send an email. I read the one's posted on the 23rd, but it didn't
mention anything about the MIME parser. This is the email I get from the
system when I try to send a support email.

What do I need to do? Where do I go to get it? How hard is it to
install? Where does it install too?

You can probably find the module at www.cpan.org.
If you already had the CPAN module installed on your
RaQ you could (from a root command line) type:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

to get to the CPAN interactive shell and then type:

install MIME::Parser

To have the module located, downloaded and installed in
one fell swoope.

The module probably installs in the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
directory but the install "konws" where its supposed to go.

If you manually download the module as a .tgz file after
you run tar -xzf module.tgz
then CD to the directory which is created and type the
following four lines:

perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install
