I get complete failures on any CPAN install I try. Since the CPAN module is shipped as part of the OpenSolaris distribution, I dunno what's going on, but I don't like it. I'm currently rewriting my old Perl backup script as a shell script because of this. (Well; I would have had to rewrite the script anyway, since using CIFS instead of Samba for my smb shares meant I suddenly cared about ACL values, which rsync doesn't understand, so I needed to shift from using rsync to using zfs send / recv for my backups. But the rewrite is as a shell script instead of in Perl because I can't get any CPAN modules to install.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
