Komodo installed on WinXP - but Perl execution an Linux

Hi,
I´m new here, because I have to work with the komodo ide.
After the installation I have a little problem:
On my computer runs WinXP, but the Perl script will be executed on a ubuntu linux machine. The /home directory is a shared folder in the winXP system.
The Problem is: When I work on the WinXP System, komodo underlines red for example this line "use WWW::Mechanize;" because this package is not installed on the windows system, so komodo don´t support this package.
How can I change the used Perl directory for komodo, so that komodo know that the packages are installed and can be used?
Should I share the /bin/perl directory?
thank you in advance

ps
sorry about my bad english :)

Hi tabstop,
I've had this issue in the past.
There's one of two things you can do.
On the Linux box you can share up the libs/ and point Komodo at them, telling it to use the directory as a resource area.
Or - and this is a dirty method - using the PMM you can install the packages locally.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer.
Where did I find the settings to point Komodo to the libs?
Hi tabstop,
My apologies. I meant to include it.
From the Menu..
Edit->Preferences
then,
Languages->Perl
and finally look at the bottom of that area, and you'll see the 'Additional Perl Import Directories'.
That's where you add the extra places to look.
Hope this helps.

ok thank you, I import the following directorys.
/etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.10
/usr/share/perl/5.10
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
Now is no line red underlined`. Thank you :)
Can you say me how did now I can now use the syntax completion?
Other IDEs shows me when I type for example "$mech = WWW::" the class mechanize and the others or the methods of the classes. How did that work in Komodo? Have I use a Shortcut?
The syntax completion is contextual.
So what you should see appearing in context is the available classes, methods, and variables.
If you begin typing and hit [TAB], you should be able to cyclicly peruse the available options.
:)
It's kind of automagic.. :)

Also - when instantiating a new class or calling a method, you should get the little popup box with the requierd parameters. It's a really nifty little addition, and amazingly useful, especially when you're using someone else's code.
