I actually fixed this problem by purging all the perl stuff, then installing it again. perl -v now tells me 5.6.0.
The problem, as someone else pointed out, is in the Date::Dumper modules is screwed up. There is a version conflict between its .pm and its .so file. I have no idea how this occured. If simply replacing the .pm file with the current version is all thats necessary, I would be greatful for someone sending me that file from their system. I believe its Dumper.pm. -Aaron Stephen Zander wrote: > From: Aaron Solochek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Aaron> However, could this be a problem? > > Aaron> leko:/home/aarons#update-alternatives --config perl > > Aaron> There is only 1 program which provides perl > Aaron> (/usr/bin/perl-5.005).
