Ah, worked like a charm, thanks. I actually did yet another clean install of PErl since I didn't like my earlier duplicates in site which I installed not knowing this work-around. I do have another question on upgrading. When trying to update all modules using the upgrade command, either after install or having installed some modules in site, that process fails, too, in build 822. Why is this, i.e. why there's no orddering, and can I prevent this complaint appearing in the future?
