Eek. You should never directly put anything under perl_root:[000000...]. Only Perl's own installers should ever write to those directories. Unpack your source kits in a scratch directory somewhere, build them, run the test suites, and then when you are satisfied they are ok run the installer like so: $ mmk install Now, this may not be causing the problem you observed, but this is the first thing you need to do regardless. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
