RH8 falls off the edge on 31 Dec. RH9 will doubtless follow shortly afterwards if Red Hat persist in driving customers away. Unfortunately Debian is even worse from a usability point of view, no matter how much better it may be as a server. > And sourceforge's compile farm is still > RH8 I believe (plus getting everything compiled and installed there with > non-root privileges would be a nightmare.

I really don't suggest hacking @INC as a solution. I wasn't suggesting it should be perverted, merely made to work. Looking in /usr/local/lib/perl5 and not into the very obvious 5.8.0 directory within it is not meaningful or useful, IMHO. If I get a clean install I shouldn't need to touch @INC, but I can't see how to get rid of the current cruft and get a clean system yet. And then I need to find out how to work CPAN auto-installs without downloading multimegabyte files first. Last time I tried to add a simple package it started to tell me I needed a new version of Perl and went ahead to download all 30Mb of it. But that's another week's work. > That's why the FAQ is a Wiki. Feel free to add this nugget of information. I'm not a sufficiently experienced and authoritative source to make these claims so concrete. Guaranteed if I post it, it'll be proved wrong the next day, and I'll have screwed up someone's system for them in the meantime. ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
