I saw this in a tutorial: --- sudo mv /usr/bin/head /tmp
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' cpan> install HTML::Parser cpan> install LWP sudo mv /usr/bin/get /usr/local/bin/lwp-get sudo mv /usr/bin/head /usr/local/bin/lwp-head sudo mv /usr/bin/post /usr/local/bin/lwp-post sudo mv /tmp/head /usr/bin --- So it is obviously a known (mis)behaviour of LWP to overwrite the original head. Does someone know where on the Panther installation discs the original head is located? Thanks, Jan -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
