Can someone give me the step instructions for installing the perl 5.x libwww on my server.

I have the file in a .tar format and don't know where to begin.

Where does it go and how do I do it step by step?

Thx in advance

Ok here it goes...

download the prequist modules..
which is Digest5, MIME:base64, net:ftp, URI,
and HTML:PArser
you can get all those from cpan.org
then after you have downloaded those to a directory on your server
do a tar -xvzf modulename.tar.gz
and then cd into the directory and go
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
do this step for all the 4 or 5 prequists...
after you have compiled all of them.. you do a tar -xvzf on the lib-www tarball and then do the same perl Makefile.Pl, make make install on that and your done.
