It's really baffling me and I'm sure I'll learn something new in this, but I've run out of ideas. I am logged in as root. I've tried "./perl-after-upgrade" (in the /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files) directory and it says "./perl-after-upgrade: Command not found" I thought maybe it was something with the dashes in the name, so I renamed it with the same result. I copied it to my /root subdirectory and tried the original name and a new name with the same result, even though a couple scripts I wrote run just fine from /root. I checked the permissions and they are -rwxr-xr-x. The only thing that "worked" was to run "sh perl-after-upgrade" but I get an error: root@lion:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files# sh perl-after-upgrade =pod: not found =head1: not found Unknown option `--' Usage: perl-after-upgrade perl-after-upgrade -v perl-after-upgrade -f =head1: not found fastest_cvsup-0.2.9_1: 0 moved, 0 modified, 0 adjusted portupgrade-20041226_4: 0 moved, 0 modified, 0 adjusted - --- Fixed 0 packages (0 files moved, 0 files modified) Skipped 21 packages fastest_cvsup-0.2.9_1: 0 moved, 0 modified, 0 adjusted portupgrade-20041226_4: 0 moved, 0 modified, 0 adjusted / --- Fixed 0 packages (0 files moved, 0 files modified) Skipped 21 packages perl-after-upgrade version 1.2 =head1: not found perl-after-upgrade: 26: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Exit 2 root@lion:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files# And, if I type "sh perl-after-upgrade -f" I get the EXACT same output as above, leading me to believe it is ignoring the -f option. I'm stumped. or is this the expected output and I'm too dense to understand it? Christopher
