"locate" found nothing matching "dh-make". trying http://packages.debian.org/dh-make shows three items (one for stable, one for testing, one for unstable) which are all "dh-make" but apparently have nothing to do with this cpan-interference-runner "dh-make-perl". care to elaborate for us ignorami what exactly dh-make-perl is, and where to get it? -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #46 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Troubled by MAC-FORMAT TEXT FILES? There are many ways to translate CR to LF. VIM can help, with these steps: :set ffs=mac :e! :set ff=unix (":opt" for more info) and then save/write the file; in perl, this'll do the trick: perl -pi.mac -l12 -015 -e ';' filename*pattern.txt (that's a <hyphen-el-one-two> and <hyphen-zero-one-five>, by the way -- see "perldoc perlrun" for more info.)
