An AFS thing apparently. In this case they were different versions.

AFAIK the only files affected by this are *.DLL, and in that case I always get an error message as per: [Digress to try Scalar::List::Utils, which I /know/ is a PITA.] WARNING: Unable to unlink 'D:\Perl\lib\auto\List\Util\Util.dll': Permission denied But wait! For the first time ever I now get: WARNING: Unable to unlink 'D:\Perl\lib\auto\List\Util\Util.dll': Permission denied Going to try to rename it to 'D:\Perl\lib\auto\List\Util\Util.dll.AAA'. Rename succesful. Scheduling 'D:\Perl\lib\auto\List\Util\Util.dll.AAA' for deletion at reboot. Nice. > Do you use --prefix to do that installation, or is that the default > location? AFAIK the default location shouldn't have changed, nor > the --prefix location, so I'm not sure what's going on there. Nope. I use (having checked for the presence of Build.PL): o perl Build.PL o perl Build o perl Build test o perl Build install uninst=1 -- Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html
