If that file is missing, then it's likely that your Perl installation is corrupted. Did you ever run a file utility that removes duplicate files in a directory tree? The files are not identical in content, but if the utility removed based on name only, that could explain why one is missing. Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
