Confirmed. Have exactly the same thing. There was something similar if memory serves right on 3.3 / 3.4. It had to do with the un-zip / tar whatever. It had already been un-whatever; something like this. Or was it a broken perl ?? In any case: yes: no, it does not work. Use the port collection instead ! Uwe
