Then you have a fine version of perl > > Mmm, thought I'd try: > > file perl5.8.6 > > but it still comes back with no such file or directory. Are you in the /usr/bin directory? or trying it from somewhere else? I expect you are in /home or /root or something like that. The 'file' and most other commands do not follow the path, so you have to specify the directory. The directory concept shouldn't be too foreign, altho it uses / instead of \ You can have the shell tell you which directory you are in using the 'pwd' command (print working directory). -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
