[comp.lang.perl] Problems using i2ps

cloos@acsu.buffalo.edu (James H. Cloos) (10/30/90)

Hello,

I'm trying to get the i2ps perl script to work, but am getting the
following error:

syntax error in file i2ps at line 47, next 2 tokens "(__FILE__"
Execution aborted due to compilation errors.

I don't yet know perl, so this error means nothing to me.  Any help is
appreciated.

I don't have the author's address, so I posted here.  As you can see,
followup-to is set to the perl group.

You've got an older version of Perl.  __FILE__ was added in patch 19.
We're currently at patchlevel 37, soon to be 38.
