In particular, make sure your attempts in /usr/src/contrib/perl5 didn't leave any mess in that directory which could be a problem. If you're not sure what needs keeping and what doesn't, the easiest way is probably to blow away /usr/src/contrib/perl5 and cvsup again to make sure it's perfectly clean. Or you could probably write a script which deletes any file which isn't listed in your cvsup checkouts file. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
