I have an account with ZoneEdit.com (a free DNS service). I am trying to use their Perl script to update my dynamic address as needed. I know nothing about Perl and could use some help. The beginning of this script has the following two lines: use Sys::Hostname; use LWP::UserAgent; A co-worker, who doesn't know much more than I, told me that these statements are to use a library outside of Perl. A quick trip to the ports section revealed www/p5-libwww which I am compiling now. Does anyone know what I need to do to get the Sys library (module? - I don't even know the vocabulary yet)? Or better yet, is there anyone that has done the same and is willing to help me offline? I'd appreciate any assistance.
