-nate, i wish there were words i could convey to express how FREEKIN, HAPPY you (and debian) just made me!!!! I was not aware of the full power of 'apt-get',... I was un-aware i could install perl mods and libs, etc, like this, i better do some more reading,... and start with 'man apt-get', damn cool,... 3 weeks with debian. >seems like you may be trying to install using CPAN? this is usually >a bad thing in my experience since CPAN usually tries to upgrade >perl if an upgrade is available which can severely break the >system since perl is very critical to the base system -well, this is the first time i've heard this, perl people push CPAN (auto CPAN module) like it's the best thing since 'apt-get',... -after two *&%$^ days of trying to work this problem out, i ran the `apt-get' line you gave above then applied it to libwww-perl as well and within 10 seconds all was installed without errors,... - on a side note i did something stupid the other night, i don't know if it will 'hurt' the system or not, it seems ok, but you never know. I installed 'gdbm-1.8.1.tar.gz', in the 'traditional' way, (i.e, make, make test, make install, etc,...) because this package was stating it didn't see it, it needed it,...etc,... I have looked at /usr/lib/* and it looks like it (gdbm), installed, and just made a sym link to any files that were already there, is there anyway to 'correct' this, ( without a fresh install), or should i not worry about it and not ever do this kind of thing again,...
