hmm, no, just the default /usr/bin/perl. i've thought about installing 5.8.8, but haven't yet. i changed my shell to bash (doesn't everyone?) in both xterm and apple_terminal and i did make a .bashrc in which i changed the default value of $PATH to this: PATH=$PATH":/sw/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sw/share/doc/man"
i am getting different outputs for echo $PATH; xterm returns more search paths. also, printenv doesn't return a PERL5LIB under xterm. i guess a good way to modify $PERL5LIB would be cool, although i have read from several sources that it is better to use lib "/foo/bar"; than to modify $PERL5LIB. i'm poking through man x to see if i can find something. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
