Yes, of course -- there's a great deal of Perl-based software on various unices that is written in Perl. I seem to recall having Perl available before I had most of my usual software installed on this system, however. In retrospect, though, I think something associated with Portupgrade uses Perl -- and I would have had that installed by the time I recall having Perl available -- so that's probably the "culprit" in this case. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);
