LWP head script

2005-01-06 Thread Jan Eden
Hi, I did not use my UNIX head tool in a while. When I tried to call it recently, I found that a Perl script resides in /usr/bin which was obviously put there when installing the LWP module. /usr/bin/tail is still there, but my original is gone/overwritten. Why did LWP do that? man head still
