Dear Sir,

I am writing about utils.pm to say

that this small Perl module is

 . part of the standard Netsaint/Nag Perl plugins (as of 1.2.9/1.3-beta
Nag
AFAIK)

   that said, the plugin installer may __not__ install utils.pm when it
installs the plugins. In other words, although it's required by all the
standard Perl plugins, it may have to be manually installed.

 . required by the standard Netsaint/Nag Perl plugins

 . should be installed in the 'architecture independent, site specific
Perl module paths'. 

These vary depending on Perl version and number of Perls on the
host. For my case (Unix, single OS supplied Perl),

perl -V | grep site_perl | grep -v <arch tag eg i386> shows the 

relevant module path (you could put it any of these Paths but site_perl
is best)

The path is '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005' on this FreeBSD
4.x-RELEASE host.

 . can be worked around by the 'use libs' pragma (ie add a 'use libs
'<path_to_utils.pm'>;

I would rather not do this because it _may_ jeopardise the operation of
plugins with an embedded Perl interpreter (in caching/compile once
mode).

I don't know that it does but the embedded Perl Netsaint is far more
fussy about plugins than a plain Netsaint

What I do is copy the module from the plugins-script dir of the Netsaint
plugins directory to my Perl path.

Yours sincerely.
