The installer for pmtools seems to use "perl -V:installscript" as a default install location for these things, and that resolves as /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin on the current Perl in Solaris. I note that of the things currently in that directory, *only* /usr/perl5/5.4.8/bin/perl has a symlink in /usr/bin. The rest do not. This case seems to propose installing directly in /usr/bin, or perhaps it'll link from /usr/perl5/5.4.8/bin (the intention is a little unclear). Where is the right place to install things like this? Is this a new precedent, or are those other things (such as the rather useful 'perldoc') installed incorrectly? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
