Ack! I keep forgetting. You *also* need to install the liburi-perl and libwww-perl packages from unstable. Install them at the same time with dpkg because they have interdependencies on each other and conflict with the versions in slink. dpkg -i liburi-perl*.deb libwww-perl*.deb Sorry, -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
