I always use the CPAN shell. These modules that I erased by mistake I think are pragmatic and/or standard distribution ones with the Perl port. As I mentioned earlier I just wanted to cleanup the older Perl installs. At the time I was unaware of the "uninstall inactive" subcommand and I was cleaning up the old Perl modules by hand and I thought I was erasing my CPAN installed ones. It seems to have gotten fixed with all the suggestions above but I can't say for sure what fixed it. -- Alejandro Imass _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
