Thanks for the info but I like doing this myself. This way I know what I have and where everything is. To be honest I love compiling and troubleshooting. I just need to know where I can find a perl-forward-compat source. Every place I found one the server was no longer available or the package was gone. The five entries I found in the mailing lists were dead leads.
