Paul, You need to download a fix from Redhat for Perl on version 5.2, the perl installation/implementation on that release is broken. I came across this information while going thru README's for MRTG (Multi-Router Traffic Grapher which is written almost exclusively in Perl with a smattering of C for generating the graphs). This or moving to a newer version of Redhat such as 6.1 or 6.2 are the only workarounds. If the fix isn't available anymore (which is highly unlikely) you could download the tarball from www.perl.com or www.activestate.com and compile a new installation of it. Hope this helps, 73's Steve Baetz MCSE, CNA, CCNA N2YNQ FM29 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul Delaney Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Perl Help Hello All, I am trying to install 'majordomo' under RH 5.2 perl version 5.004_04 and the makefile fails on the following line #142: @cd $(TMP); $(PERL) -p -i -e 's@^#!\S+perl.*@#!$(PERL)@' $(TOOLS) $(BINBIN) $(BIN) make install Testing for perl (/usr/bin/perl)...
