Stay away from the ports collection now. Do 'perldoc CPAN' for info. But here's the example for the impatient: $ perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> install Digest::MD5 cpan> exit BTW the first time you run CPAN it will ask a bunch of config questions. You also probably want to verify that 5.6 Perl is the one in your path with 'perl -v'. Just in case, you know. HTH and Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers (tayers@bridge.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
