...of course, the lesson there is "don't move the perl binary" :-) If for some reason you need a copy in /home/me/bin instead of or in addition to the one in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, then build your own copy from source with PREFIX defined as "/home/me". Look over the notes in the README as well as the Makefile.PL arguments available in the copy of the Perl source you download for more specific instructions. But anyway, yeah. In general, you can't depend on things working consistently if you just start randomly moving around compiled programs and libraries. Sometimes it won't matter, but other times, the results just won't be predictable. -- Chris Devers T/wò-ñgm§V
