Try out a cool command that really comes in handy sometimes: which command_name so, for perl, do: which perl It'll show you all the perls in your path... The handy part comes when you combine it with other commands, like: file `which command` which will tell you what kind of file command is. Handy when you're not sure whether it's a shell script or an binary. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
