Yes you can search it, but sometimes it's not a straight forward task as it may seem, especially if you don't know what to look for (yet) in the first place, and hence a perfectly acceptable reason for posting such a post that the OP posted... | If you haven't tried it, you probably can. Heres a link. http://search.cpan.org/search?query=IO%3A%3AScalar&mode=all You can also attempt to install it using the CPAN shell from the commandline: $ perl -MCPAN -e shell install IO::Scalar

It had already been pointed out to him in this thread. Why can't some folk check a thread before jumping in? DS

On the contrary. If we were to assume "newbies" are clueless, we would assume they're incapable of doing any research on their own, and would feel it necessary to hand-feed answers. By pointing people to documentation, we are giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are capable of learning on their own, if only they know about the proper resources. Paul Lalli

Sorry, it was a lengthy thread, though I could of checked on google, though I was just casually reading some posts before calling it a day and just happened to reply. For what it's worth, the tone the thread seemed to be moving towards did not seem like it would yield much helpful. Lets just say I've seen this how many of these types of thread end up going. |
