one of either: perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux fetchyahoo.pl --help export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux ./fetchyahoo.pl --help near the beginning of fetchyahoo.pl, add: use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1'; (note this is smart enough to find the i386-linux subdirectory) how did something get installed into such a strange path? if it was from a distribution package, its a bug. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
