Alexander-- Thanks for the clarifications. Since I don't have another Mac around for this, I will try the BaseSystem.pkg option you mentioned. If I do this, though, am I risking trashing the system?
Oddly, the only libwww I know about is the Fink-provided one, from 'fink apropos libwww'. Could it be that CPAN installed a version of libwww in the course of trying to get Finance::Quote working with GnuCash? F::Q has not been working for me for a while, and I have been trying numerous ways to get it going, including using CPAN to install the Perl modules. Otherwise, I can't imagine how I would have trashed this file. David --- "Alexander K.
