There response is that the POSIX library in FreeBSD is "bad", and in their experience causes a "lot of problems" with Perl. We've not had a POSIX problem before, -all- of our development is in Perl / Apache, so I don't know ... I'm net even sure how to phrase the question ... but does anyone know if this is so? If so, is there a better POSIX library than the one distributed? TIA, Glenn. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
