Thank you, much better.  I can't make out the difference between the two
command lines (again, I ask you to please clean up your script output,
or just copy and paste from your terminal to your mailer, those ^Hs and
^]s make things hard to decipher).

Can you do a "type perl perl5.6.0 perl5.6.1", and then ls -l and sum
each of those files?  It looks like a symlink (or even a hardlink)
problem.  No way no how should "perl5.6.0" have an executable version of 

Did you do the install of perl5.6.1 yourself?  If so, did it look "Ok"?

Also, when perl5.6.1 was installed, where did it put the libraries?

Thanks,

Barrie
