   	Thanks. The installed it all right, but the issue persists as   
   described. When I check out the xtt Perl application, line 20 is the   
   following:   
      
   	require "getopts.pl";   # &Getopts()   
      
   The thing is, getopts.pl is indeed nowhere available in my system.   
      
   	The script that I am trying to execute is a bit old, but it still   
   worked fine under Slackware 14.2. Might it be the case that, in 15.0, one   
   must use a different Perl module here?
