I am not sure the tests (01base.t, It is non-executable. I've chmod -x 'ed every file other than the test scripts and the configure script. > 02tie.t and 03tie_perl56.t) are good examples.

Documented this in the README.Debian. However, I'm leaving the *.t tests as they are, since they're provided by upstream, and if some advanced user needs them, he shdn't go looking for the .orig.tar.gz. Right? so the new packages again are at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/libfilesys-smbclient-perl/ and deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main > > Greetings, Thanks Gunnar, you've been very helpful, Amit. -- Amit Shah http://amitshah.nav.to/
