From: Glenn Becker To: FreeBSD Questions Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.0.7 Date: 06 Feb 2003 20:52:23 -0500 Message-Id: <1044582744.872.5.camel@catbutt> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all - I did a quick search on the list archives and didn't turn up anything ... I've been teaching myself Perl and exploring the wonders of CPAN ... but when I installed the interactive CPAN shell on root and tried to install the PDL (Perl Data Language) module, it sent my / slice to 109%. Is there any safe way back to sanity from this kind of thing, short of a re-install? I know now that I don't necessarily have to install .cpan on /root ... can I safely just rip out the subdirectories there? I've been running 4.7-STABLE, fwiw. I don't know exactly when I last rebuilt world, but it was perhaps December. Any pointers are welcome. I can boot the system up okay.
