Yes. If you're running Debian and either stable or pure testing, placing TT2 within the package management system will avoid these little headaches (which I imagine is why it came up on the Redhat box and not the Debian box). In terms of unstable, I uploaded a package (2.08-1) about a week ago that is compiled for Perl 5.8. It will stay in unstable until all the rest of the modules are recompiled and then they'll move over into testing in one big chunk and everything will go smoothly (at least in theory). If there is interest, I'll happily maintain an unofficial apt-get'able repository of TT2 packages built against the perl packages in stable or testing (the latter of which won't really be an issue for much longer). I've also thrown around the idea of deb's of the developer releases if anyone would use that. The packages in http://people.debian.org/~mako/outgoing/ are built for unstable and always have been. The description of the apt source on the template-toolkit.org download package is wrong. -- B. Mako Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~mako/
