Thanks for the heads up Carl. I installed this on one machine last week and didn't see any impact on installing and building Perl. There were very similar-sounding ECOs for v7.3 and v7.2-2 in the last few weeks, so I think they are just pushing it back further. If you have a lot of heavy duty production stuff that depends on the C RTL you're probably right to hold off for a bit. -- ____________________________________________ Craig A.
