Today has been an aggravating lesson in fixing perl on inadequate servers. The company has their website on a Windows server. The windows server supposedly has an “up to date” version of perl. But, for some strange reason that doesn’t include File::Find. From what information I have been able to gather, it’s supposed to be installed in standard perl 5.8. Not sure about earlier versions.

So I’ve had to go searching for the module so I can put it into the /cgi-bin/ so my search script on the website will use it to accurately search the entire site. Man what a drag, I have searched high and low, and still not been able to find the darned thing.
