Might want to know that I just tried that, and was surprised to find out that perl makes changes in it's obj dir during it's install. The multiple installs from the same obj tree works *only* if you tar away the gnu/usr.bin/perl and tmp/usr/bin dirs from the obj tree, and reinstall them in the obj tree before each new install. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
