You did something manually or via some non-fink system that replaced your /usr/bin/perl, which is always supposed to be the same as whichever /usr/bin/perlX.X.X comes with OS X, with a different perl. Third-party and manually-installed stuff needs to coexist as alternative location from apple-supplied stuff, not overwrite it or change fundamental properties of it. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list Fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
