Well assuming i just do an upgrade from perl 5.6.1 to perl 5.8.3 using apt-get, it worked perfectly. The problem is I've only used apt-get on debian systems. I never install anything on a compile, as I never install compiler tools on those server's. My guess is it will puke. I've use cpan2rpm to create deb and rpm files from CPAN, that works well. -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana
