Hi Agoston, Thanks for your reply, I installed the Net::Delcheck with all its prerequisite modules on my CentOS Linux 5.2 box running Perl 5.8.8. The installation went fine. Then I copied the required files (DelCheck.pm and Scalar.pm) to a folder defined in the perl @INC paths. Unfurtunatly its still complaining about missing files.!! I'm using the below command to install the whois server, is it the correct one ? # perl Install.PL --verbose --all --dbuser=dbint --dbpass=dbint --start-daemon The error I still get: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at Install.PL line 73. We could not find a working 'Net::DelCheck' for /usr/bin/perl. This is needed for RDNS functionality. You can get it from svn here: https://new-ncc.ripe.net/svn/dns/delcheck/trunk/. The full error was: Can't locate IO/Scalar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/Net-DelCheck-2.39/lib/Net/ /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/DelCheck.pm line 20.

Dear Hisham,

This package, Net::Delcheck, can be found on the RIPE FTP site:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/tools/Net-DelCheck-latest.tar.gz

It is not available on CPAN or any other location.

Kind regards,
