Replying, since that's my text you're replying to here ;) On a regular desktop, I have perl modules scattered throughout my build order. If I've built other modules, either to test things for my server (did a lot of that in the last two months), or to test other things, they will be present on one system but not on the others. Also, some of them need to be rebuilt in the correct order. I could spend a long time identifying which modules to rebuild, but I have better things to do. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
