528# pages. The problem is that not all perl installations may support these libraries. So we now use the new
529# config() method further above, which uses the wget included in Greenstone binary installations.
530# If the library imports at page top conflict, comment out those imports and move the methods config_old(),
531# is_URL_active() and pingHost() out to a temporary file.
532#
