I also found nothing to help in searching the mailing list archives. AAARRGGGGGHHHHHHHH - I broke perl. Everything is going to blowup on my box. Here is what I am getting - diablo >perl ~/perl/getwlogs.pl Can't find 'boot_Socket' symbol in /usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket/Socket.so at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/FTP.pm line 17 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/FTP.pm line 17. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at getwlogs.pl line 43. I also get the same error from lwp-download diablo >gettrans /home/stanny/bin rm: index.html: No such file or directory lwp-download: Can't download: 501 Can't find 'boot_Socket' symbol in /usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket/Socket.so BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/LWP/Socket.pm line 41. diablo >ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket total 40 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Oct 17 01:17 Socket.bs -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19466 Oct 17 01:17 Socket.so What is Socket.bs and should it be 0 length? I pkg_add-ed perl-5.00401, p5-libwww-5.12, p5-Net-1.0505, & p5-MIME-Base64-2.03. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2. Am I just missing a package ? Please email me direct since freebsd-questions-digest has stopped getting to me (but freebsd-hackers-digest still gets through OK ???). Please hurry - cron table hell will breakout at 0600 tomorrow :-( TIA cheers gary Gary Stanny Tierra del Fuego Ltd. www.TDFltd.com stanny@TDFltd.com Financial Software 313 449 8306 (voice/fax) 7725 Shady Beach Dr Whitmore Lake, MI, 48189 USA
