You're talking about Net:Config.pm? So in other words, the directions
weren't clear to you. Where did you get MailTools and libnet?. Direct from
CPAN? I'm pretty sure that Graham Barr stressed the importance of
Config.pm, but I'll check and submit a documentation patch if not. I
*know* I stressed the importance of setting up Config.pm properly in my
MacPerl ports of libnet, but they're no longer necessary.

You *must* run the Configure script that comes with libnet, or do the
equivalent, before using libnet. In the case of MacPerl, the equivalent
includes simply using the Config.pm that comes with MacPerl, which asks
InternetConfig for the right settings.
