Aha! Thank you. But I'm a little surprised there wasn't some sort of error message, "Requires perl 5.6 or better", or something like that. Somebody commented on this list recently that perl 5.8.0 had a problem which will be corrected in 5.8.1, but I see the perl5 port is 5.6.1, so I'll try that. Luckily, I don't use perl often, and I don't really need the Unicode capabilities of this Content Management System, but it looks like the one that otherwise best meets my (modest) needs. I really don't want to get into Zope. -- Roger
