Thanks - I assume you mean /System/Library/Perl/darwin/Config.pm Beats me why Apple didn't use prefix=/usr/local - so I'm guessing it's probably not something a mere mortal should go and change right ? Back to hand installing modules methinks. >/usr/bin/head - is normally a compiled binary that came >with the system - but 'get' and 'post' are not - so all >you need to do is recover /usr/bin/head itself... or >remake it from source code.... > >>get|GET|post|POST >[..] > >I may be misinterpretting your command here, have you tried Sorry, just speaking perlglish - I meant I tried 'which' on all of those and got what you have below >[jeeves:~] drieux% which get GET post POST >/usr/bin/get >/usr/bin/GET >/usr/bin/post >/usr/bin/POST >[jeeves:~] drieux% I thought this was just a 'case' issue too, until I tried: [localhost:~] andy% which CAT CAT: Command not found. <scratches head again> <groan> - I see, 'which' is case insensitive for commands in /usr/bin, but does care in /bin - added to your heAD finding, the whole thing is a bit below the belt. I sure wish Apple would provide a 'man weirdness' or a prominent "readme-if-you-have-used-other-unixen-before.txt". 'man which' *should* point this feature out - we'll have to change RTFM to RTMATAFG! I guess this has been a good HEADs up for me, with damage restricted to one clobbered file - I got off easy. Thanks for the help. -- &2.718...
