Look at the description and content of perl-base package, and compare this with the other Debian perl packages as well as the transition from a single perl package to versioned perl in Debian unstable. > Now, I need to fetch a compiler and cvs and a working man-db, and then > I can see how it works with the newest sources :-) If you miss cpp, it is in interpreters/ (I just say that because it is the FAQ of the month :) I believe you can simply update to the latest packages if you be careful with GRUB. hurd-19990923 is in the archive, and gnumach was not changed substantially since I last uploaded.
