If you share your system with other users, it is recommended that the system administrator installs Perl to make it available for everyone. If you whish you can also install your own version in one of your local directories (it requires about 15 MB of space).

If you are looking for the latest beta version, these releases are posted on the kX Forums. It is only recommended for experienced users to try these experimental releases. Please read our Known Issues page before sending us any questions. See similar questions...

You need to download and compile the latest Perl source from http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz. Or if you have Solaris or HPUX you can download pre-built packages that avoid the need to compile Perl yourself. See similar questions...

Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially those prior to the 5.0 release, are less likely to be incorporated into the source as Perl1 through Perl4 are largely unmaintained.

SimAQUARIUM uses your 3D video card through Direct3D API. Support for Direct3D is provided by Microsoft's DirectX drivers. Virtually all modern games for the PC require DirectX.

So the solution is to make sure that you have a complete and up-to-date set of DirectX components. To download the latest version from Microsoft, go to their DirectX download page: See similar questions...

On the world wide web There is currently only a single-page hypertext version of this document, maintained at http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/C/CL/CLAIRD/ptkFAQ.html (and, in a pinch, http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.perl.tk/ptkFAQ.html). It's possible we'll someday again generate I will happily pass this ptkFAQ.html on to the next engineer willing to take good care of it. I consider my cultivation of this FAQ as temporary, good only until a more suitable candidate offers a good home for it. See similar questions...

This is stable and well tested software, it changes if major security or usability fixes are incorporated. This is where packages that will be released as the next 'stable' are placed; they've had some testing in unstable but they may not be completely fit for release yet. This distribution is updated more often than 'stable', but not more often than 'unstable'. This is the version currently under development; it is updated continuously. See similar questions...

With an up to date perl installation one may query the local perl setup and all extensions via the command: perldoc perllocal For the Tk extension: version numbering has changed recently and determining the version of Perl/Tk that you are running now depends on what version you are running: Tk-b10 (and higher) has changed to $Tk::VERSION (rather than the older "$Tk:Version") to be consistent with other packages.

If you lost the original email, then just email me with your details and I'll help you out. See similar questions...

cd ~ mkdir klamavcvs cd klamavcvs cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@klamav.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/klamav co -P klamav cd klamav make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure make su -c 'make install' Getting the install script to work in SuSE 10.0 was a real pain. I thought it might be helpful to pass along what I did to make the script work: 1.
