You don't necessarily have to live with it. There are FreeBSD ports for both those modules. You can install /usr/ports/devel/p5-ReadLine-Perl and /usr/ports/devel/p5-Term-ReadKey, which are at 1.0203 and 2.30, respectively, which is generally a better manoeuvre than installing ports via bsdpan anyway (because you get FreeBSD-specific patches, etc.) # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
