Thanks > much for any help on fixing this, You need to install the appropriate perl module - in this case Math::Random. FreeBSD ports contain many of the perl modules. Most are in the format p5-Foo-Bar. To find them, go to /usr/ports and type "make search key=Math-Random" (for example.) pauls@utd59514# ls /usr/ports/math/p5-Math-Random p5-Math-Random/ p5-Math-Random-MT/ p5-Math-Random-MT-Auto/ p5-Math-Random-OO/ p5-Math-RandomOrg/ So, cd to /usr/ports/math/p5-Math-Random, make install clean and your problem will be solved. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
