Last week I had to fix an application of mine which worked well with perl-5.8.3 but ran into a infinite loop with perl-5.8.4. It was neither a bug in the app nor in perl. It was just a subtle little intentional change in perls behavior where my code expected something else. Now imagine how badly you break many of you vendors maintenance scripts by replacing an ancient perl with the latest and greatest version. Do not even try. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], Cable & Wireless ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
