Is it just me or is there a reason that you haven't simply done the canonical perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/lib/perl5 to begin with???? We generically agree on 'do not compile as root' - and that you should think about having the /usr/local/lib/perl5 || /usr/lib/perl5 owned by your 'group' so that you can install based upon your group permission - or the older *nix hack of just allowing it to be world writable - no longer advocated - or have a PerlGeeks group so that all of the PerlGeeks can whack in what they find amusing???? ciao drieux --- Patrick now that you are on the fast track to hell - what you will also want to get into is: vladimir: 62:] cat base* Digest-MD5-2.16 HTML-Parser-3.26 HTML-Tagset-3.03 MIME-Base64-2.12 URI-1.18 libnet-1.11 libwww-perl-5.64 vladimir: 63:] so that you can move on to doing things you would have done with rsh/rlogin as webLets.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
