But methods from the slackget10::PkgTools class don't return on the first error, it will try to install all packages. Additionnally, for each package, set a status.

        $pkgtool->install($package_list);

upgrade

But methods from the slackget10::PkgTools class don't return on the first error, it will try to install all packages. Additionnally, for each package, set a status.

        $pkgtool->install($package_list) ;

info_output

Accessor to set/get the output medium to send informations about current operation. You must set a valid handle (STD*, filehandle, socket, etc.) or undef.

You can get an undefined value if the handle is not set.

Setting the output media activate the output system.

connection_id

Accessor to set/get the connection id of a connection to or from a slack-get daemon. This is here if the output handle is that kind of connection. Anyway this value must be true so set it to 1 if you want an output.
