Exactly same file? The hardlink-counter is 3, so it seems obvious that those are really exactly the same file (not just the same content). "ls -li" will confirm that: zsh$ ls -li /usr/bin/perl{,5*} 31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl 31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl5 31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl5.00503 The inode numbers are the same, so it's really just one file with three different names. Another way to verify if files are the same (or have the same content) is to compare their MD5 checksums: zsh$ md5 -r /usr/bin/perl{,5*} 70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl 70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl5 70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl5.00503 As far as your actual perl problem is concerned, I'm afraid I can't help. > Is the difference between perl versions 5.005 and 5.006 so essential? Comparing > these version numbers, this looks more like a small bug fix to me. I'm not a perl guru, but have you tried using a newer perl5 from the ports collection? Does it fail with the same error message, or does it fail differently?
