Yes it is backward compatible but it is hard to diagnose without seeing specific error and warning messages. > How can I convert the site to perl 5.6 without re-writing the perl code. > > Are the module versions important?

But again specific error and warning messages would help. A lot of times a single error will cause multiple error/warning messages so it may not be as bad as it seems. :-) YMMV John -- use Perl; program fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
