You may need a more recent distribution. I don't think HPUX comes any newer than 11. He just needs a recent Perl; you don't get decent Perl (nor decent cc) shipped with HPUX.

And AFAIK it's only supported in the context of the kernel debugger q4, not for developing (sort-of like the cc shipped with HPUX is only to be used to re-build the kernel and hence is still K&R; you have to pay money to get a "real" cc).

What end of line characters is your editor putting in? If not \n this may be part of the problem. Also you're missing a "-w" on the end of the shebang line... :) MBM -- Matthew Byng-Maddick Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +44 20 8980 5714 (Home) http://colondot.net/ Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +44 7956 613942 (Mobile) standards n.: The principles upon which we reject other people's code.
