Firstly; apologies, I misinterpreted your issue. This one reads *much* better -- for me, anyway. I haven't been able to duplicate what you've described happened to you, and while my development box tracks CURRENT, it is lagging about a month. Or because I still always use ${PERL5} ? Could an exp-run reveal this (the issue you describe)? I just checked out a copy of perl5.mk from HEAD. It's different enough from the one I'm currently using, that I going to take the time to perform a fresh install of CURRENT on one of the spares I have, and try and duplicate your described issue, tomorrow. I'll post back my findings either way. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
