suggestion to go in trusted mode

I tried that, worked fine, helped me reach my objective, but then we realized that our backup solution, Symantec's BackupExec and its RALUS agent for Unix stopped working, as it is not compatible with HP-UX trusted mode.... It is a known issue at Symantec, and they even don't have plans to correct that.

So I'm stuck with an obsolete product (OpenSpool) that will follow best practices in security, but don't accept my workaround, and on the other hand current software that does not adhere to security best practices...

What a wonderful world !

Module::Install::With(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Module::Install::With(3pm)

NAME
Module::Install::With - find environnement for Module::Install interactive The "interactive" function tests for an install that has a user present (or at least, one in which it is reasonable for us to present prompts and other similar types of things). Returns true if in an interactive environment, or false otherwise. automated_testing Are we currently running in an automated testing environment, such as CPAN Testers. This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line with best practices at a later date. release_testing Are we currently running in an release testing environment. That is, are we in the process of running in a potential highly-intensive and high dependency bloat testing process prior to packaging a module for release. This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line with best practices at a later date. win32 The "win32" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a native Microsoft Windows Perl, such as ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl. This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32'" yourself, but may be improved in line with best practices at a later date. winlike The "winlike" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a Microsoft Windows Perl, under either cygwin or a native Win32 Perl. This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32' or $^O eq 'cygwin'"yourself, but may be improved in line with best practices at a later date. SEE ALSO
