overwriting files in the /usr hierarchy is not a good idea, as the package manager (in the debian/ubuntu case dpkg+apt) gets confused and may again overwrite your files if somebody uploads a new version of the package the files belong to. Locally built packages should always install to /usr/local. -- c u henning _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
