Phoenix.pm: open sesame

[Pablo at zunigatech.com]

Tony:
I'm not sure if you've run into this before but I did install Expect.pm and
then went to install IO::Pty but got an error. 

1. cd .cpan
2. build
3. cd IO-Tty-0.3
4. make ... as below...

I've been reading through
comp.lang.perl.modules but no one has posted that particular question. Here's
the error I posted to that group:

error---------------------
[root at localhost IO-Tty-0.03]# make

cc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
make: *** [Tty.o] Error 1
------------------------------

I'm running RH 6.2. 

Hope everyone's having a good weekend, just got the Perl
Journal in the mail on Friday, and was just reading about Home Automation with
Perl. Pretty scary stuff :)
