I did something similar and it worked like a charm -and now i can run blosxom to my hearts happyness ;-) > I know NetBSD ports for 1.5.1 came with perl5.6.1, but I forget if you > can pull a new ports tree in netbsd without doing a whole OS upgrade. unless 1.5 introduced significant changes (which I am unaware of), NetBSD is a pain to upgrade (similarly to slackware my sysadmin friend tells me) - you pretty much have to do everything manually, hence my reluctance to do so on a perfectly working machine. thanks for the tip ! -Federico _________________________________________ -- "'Problem' is a bleak word for challenge" - Richard Fish Muad'Dib of Caladan (Federico L.
