OK, I just found this interesting tidbit of info. Gonna post it here in case anyone else runs into this problem... If you have a directory on your system named /usr/local/scripts, perl will attempt to put some things in it that you would rather have in the bin/ subdirectory. If you have this directory, move it to /usr/local/scripts.off before compiling perl and move it back after installing. -Mike
