My ibook running Jagwyre has 5.8.0 installed. Twice. Because for a previous version of MacOSX I had to compile 5.8 myself and when I upgraded the system- supplied perl must have gotten upgraded to the same version. Even so, my version is linked against different libraries so I'd quite like to keep it. On my server I have /usr/bin/perl as 5.00503 cos that's what debian 2.2 has, and /usr/local/bin/perl is 5.6.1. I don't need anything out of 5.8 so haven't bothered upgrading yet. -- David Cantrell | Member of the Brute Squad | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced
