I think this explains the problem: most users will be running Mac OS X on Apple’s HFS+ file system, which, as of this writing, uses case-insensitive filenames. This creates a couple of gotchas for mod_perl development. First, the mod_perl installation process will encourage you to install Perl’s LWP modules so that it can run a few HTTP requests to test mod_perl before installing it. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing LWP installs its HEAD script into the /usr/bin/ directory. Although the case of any filename is preserved on HFS+, files called, say, FOO and foo cannot exist in the same directory. Thus LWP’s HEAD program overwrites the Unix file-viewing utility /usr/bin/head.
I guess that I now have to reinstall head.

The output you're seeing is generated by HEAD (note the capitalisation), which is a perl script bundled with libwww-perl. -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
