I'm not exactly sure this is what happened but I can't think of anything else. After installing several packages from CPAN, my daily log maintenance began failing. After some investigation I found that '/etc/periodic/daily/500.daily' was getting an error from the '/usr/ bin/head' command. When I ran 'head' manually the command was not the normal one. It appears that one of the perl packages replaced the normal 'head' command that works on files, with one that works on URLs. Has anyone encountered this, or can anyone determine if my surmise about one of the perl packages is correct? Thanks.
