So although I do not KNOW the answer, I cann assume it to be ``yes''. In the meantime, I built perl5 from the ports collection and forced re-install. This took catre of it. Thanx for quickly pointing out the culprit (perl). What corrupted I really do not know.

When I use ``cvs add'' for my stuff, I get the benefit that ``cvs update'' and ``cvs diff'' understand my desire for harnmoneous source tree and merge and diff the entire delta my project does. I started doing this at the suggestion of either Justin or David. And it works very well for my needs. Thanx for the help. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313
