And no errors so far. The only files left: # find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/ -type f ! -name '*.ph' | m /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/auto/Crypt/DH/.packlist /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/QuotedPrint.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Parser/Filer.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Head.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Entity.pm.orig /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Tools.pm.orig and I think they're leftovers from some port that didn't clean up after itself, as I don't remember installing any cpan directly and on a similar machine a pkg_info -W on them doesn't return anything. Thanks for the script. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user"
