Yeah, although I don't think it does it automatically in OS X. The compile fails, due to HFS's case insensitivity (more annoying) and a file called "INSTALL" which is a text file. Also, there's a hints file that would put Perl in the wrong location (library wise). > > My other Mac that was working still had 5.6.0.

Although I would generally agree with you on this, it's not an issue with me. Any modules that I installed on this machine that required Perl 5.6.1 was just me playing around or being curious. Actually, I think it came down to me trying to get IPC::Shareable working (still haven't). Maybe I ought to make that another thread after I check the archives for info on it. > A better solution would probably be to leave 5.6.1 installed (by > upgrading or going back in time), and reinstall mod_perl. I am curious if the other way around would work. It indeed it was some dynamic linking in libraries, reinstalling 5.6.1 might have the same effect as 5.6.0. I may try both, but I don't see any immediate need for that right now. Thanks for the tips... I'm just glad it's working. :) -Alex ================================================== Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.beardeddragon.org/ ==================================================
