Yes. And if you do not want your perl scripts to break, you can change by hand /etc/alternatives/perl to point to /usr/bin/perl-5.004 ... And you'll be able to compile your packages for perl-5.005 if you follow the instructions of the perl policy by simply doing : PERL=perl-5.005 dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël >> 0C4CABF1 >> http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~rhertzog/
