I hadn't but I just tried it and it also didn't get the signals right. But at least I could edit config.h manually to fill in the contents of 'kill -l'. That worked indeed and I now have a working 5.6.2 again. Thanks for the suggestion! After that I installed with force: CPAN::Reporter, HTML::Parser, URI (all of them didn't pass wome tests). Then Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase and Crypt::SSLeay could be installed without force. But then CPAN::Reporter refused to run telling me that it was not installed (while it was). Key was finally to install File::HomeDir manually (with cp). And after that I sent my first Metabase report with a perl 5.6.2: [2010-07-31T03:38:45Z] [Andreas J. K�nig (ANDK)] [pass] [NWCLARK/Acme-Meta-0.02.tar.gz] [x86_64-linux] [perl-v5.6.2] I'm starting to smoke it now. -- andreas
