Ah. 'user-customized' = 'used CPAN' -- guilty. And Pacifist did the trick. Just in case someone else falls into this realm and hasn't used Pacifist before: Open Pacifist Insert your system install disk Click 'Open Apple Install Packages' open the 'Contents of Essentials.pkg' drill down to System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ Select the 'Test' folder (I also selected 'Test.pm') Click the Install button in Pacifist's Toolbar Pacifist is shareware/nagware. For a single event you could probably be justified in calling it an evaluation. I think it's time for me to pay the programmer, even though this is the first time I've ever done anything but look at pkg contents with it. Thanks for the help. > -- > Alexander K.
