hmmm, nothing masked as far as perl modules, I will look at verbose-conflicts and maybe write down all those modules and start unmerging and see if eventually portage can figure out something -- I don't really want to do that, however I will look at the conflicts and see what I can find. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
