installing a fresh new upstream perl is a fine idea; however, since `rpm -V perl` produced no output, it looks like his perl package is ok. here's a way to get to the bottom of this situation. let's see the output of the following command: find /usr/lib/perl5/ -type f | xargs rpm -qf | grep package this will find all the files in the local Perl distribution that are not part of an RPM. there should be a few; if there's no output at all from this command, i'll be *really* suspicious. :) -steve -- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v PGP 8477B706 (A92A 1F7E 6D76 16A0 BFF9 E61D AD54 0251 8477 B706)
