that directory (and directory structure) is normally used by the "CPAN" perl module (usually invoked with "perl -MCPAN -e shell"). in this case, it looks like root was running that command. i'm guessing it means just what it says: it ran out of space while trying to extract a new copy of perl-5.6.1 - and for some reason it decided to email you about that. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
