In my not especially humble opinion, this is the fault of a case-insensitive filesystem, not the LWP distribution. Of course, I use UFS for precisely that reason, and have learned to live with the headaches *that* causes. :-) Probably I shouldn't be starting a flamewar on such a well-hashed-over topic, though, and so I pre-emptively say that I am probably wrong. :-) Be that as it may. If you trust me, you can get a replacement /usr/bin/head at http://davidhand.com/stuff/head.gz (taken from my 10.2.6 system). -- David "cogent" Hand <http://davidhand.com/> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <icq:4321282>
