(RADIATOR) perl 5.8.8 / radiator / missing Lsa.pm

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Stuart -

 From the comment block at the beginning of "goodies/lsa.cfg":


# Requires the Win32-Lsa perl module from Open System Consultants.
# Install the Win32-Lsa perl module using PPM and ActivePerl like this:
#   ppm install http://www.open.com.au/radiator/free-downloads/Win32- 
Lsa.ppd
#


see also section 5.51 in the Radiator 3.16 reference manual ("doc/ 
ref.html").

regards

Hugh
