[Gmod-help] Error installing GBrowse

[Scott Cain]

A few more things:

1. This was my first email of the morning, written on my phone.  I
meant "uncharted" :-)

2.  I just tried installing on WinXP and it failed because the
getpwnam function is unimplemented in Windows (at least with
ActiveState Perl).  I don't think this is something that will be a
blocker forever, but the currently released version on cpan will cause
the install to fail.

3. In the future, I suggest that you email the GBrowse mailing list
with GBrowse questions:
