Not necessarily - and especially if you can also find the same bug in 5.10 and 5.12. perl -V should tell you exactly how that build of perl was originally Configured, so you should be able to build a 5.10 and 5.12 that are as close as possible to your 5.8.8. But do also check 5.8.9, in case it's been fixed in that. -- David Cantrell | Nth greatest programmer in the world comparative and superlative explained: <Huhn> worse, worser, worsest, worsted, wasted
