hi
i downloaded perl5.8 from the Sunfreeware website
but after installing the package , i can't seem to find LWP module.
Doesn't LWP come bundled in perl5.8 package for the solaris sparc 9
platform?
Looks like i have to go to CPAN to get the module...
thanks

Yes.

You can check that for yourself through "perldoc perlmodlib". That
displays all the standard modules that come with Perl. You'll find
that LWP is not among them.

If it's not there then it doesn't come bundled in the package. LWP is not
part of the perl core, so it's not unreasonable that a pre-compiled perl
package doesn't include LWP. (I think ActiveState provides a perl build for
solaris - that probably *does* include LWP, as some of the LWP modules are
required for the ppm utility.)

Yep.

LWP is a useful module so i was puzzled when i didn't see it in the
perl 5.8 libraries...
so i came here to confirm with the group.
