Fatal error. Exiting...

Hi all
Above is the error I get when trying to up-date the virus tables for f-prot.
I have looked on my system and am unable to find why it gives me this error.

I also get an error when trying to install f-prot, which quits with the error unable to find perl HTTP.

Perl is installed by default under Suse 9.2 Pro, I looked for the Http bit under perl to see if I could install it, but found nothing that matches it on the cd's.

Any pointers, help would greatfully be appreciated.

TIA:)

What was actually missing was the Apache HTTP server,
once I had installed Apache and all the other packages that it wanted by default, I also added the HTTP Apache perl package to the list and hey presto all it works.

Thanks folks, now F-prot works and I can do automatic up-dates. :D
