I found out I could add it to where my main husky config file was, HPT was
showing error messages but helpfully it also showed where @INC was looking to
find files from and displayed several paths :)

 Al>  Av> In my case I have filter.pl in another directory

Yep it did :)

I did not and they worked. I think because they are perl based and perl is
already installed on the box. Just a guess on my part.

Same. I got lost at the first turn :)

I've just disabled it again until I can nail the preferred links it returns
but then it should be running and I'll need to add in some new flags into the
Fido and fsxNet nodelists :)

 Al> I did make a small change as Stas suggested to add the PVT flag to
 Al> netmail.

Yes I should do that to, was PVT the only one to add?
