Re: beginners Digest 29 Jul 2008 21:32:20 -0000 Issue 3524

Jiancong,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble using my module,
Shell::POSIX::Select. As stated in the BUGS section at the end of the
module's documentation, various versions of Text::Balanced and/or
Filter::Simple (on which Select depends) have limitations that can
affect the module's source-code filtering activities and cause
the test that runs during installation to fail (which means the
module won't always work correctly).

Unfortunately, there is currently no fix for these problems. However,
when I get some free time, I will see what I can do to correct this
situation.

Thanks for your interest in Shell::POSIX::Select!

-Tim

Hi all:

When I install the "Shell-POSIX-Select" module into my system, I
got the following error message from screen. After I searched on
internet, I found any useful messages to resolve it. Could you tell me
how to resolve it or where to find some useful messages. Thanks a
lot.
