--wzJLGUyc3ArbnUjN Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all, I noticed a couple oddities about Perl on FreeBSD which don't seem to be present on other platforms. These apply both to the system and port versions of Perl. 1) File::Copy doesn't seem to work properly. Until I rebuilt Perl from source via CPAN, bypassing the port, I was getting an error that indicated it couldn't find the move subroutine. Move is one of the functions provided by File::Copy. 2) There are no man pages. My solution has been to overwrite the FreeBSD port installation of Perl with the installation from CPAN, and now all seems to be working properly and I have my precious man pages. So the FreeBSD folks are doing something different -- what's up? --=20 David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html --wzJLGUyc3ArbnUjN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBQBgQyfBIvAzEwVWwAQLObwgAqvY3+7po2cki5Gb02p3bh33i/MZaHTQx 9co0/kN/nsmthNSs3HXGulLB+hRH7z7oeb2chx99eEk+iZQNthWY5Q+lJxfCsNi2 R3L7i2YT5NiWgw791fNUO0eYbrFKGyJ1p7gQAVmoaZCadO5QQ0KnTHeoDpK7XVF1 j8zsPNGc0E7ksdrnWTrRc04RPJb9SXC3EnlfGGo+x1yD+wLxTOLJC6XOd8f/oTfK yCTzwiKRlzATqqaRiC0hHs1lByei96rsfRsgwVjeV7nBkvAc+8A/HyJKeZYxLagl F/4eaAb+/2knqJluECj5JKrlp1p+hnOlOL5Hgyk8+gZgD048l2pncQ== =515X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wzJLGUyc3ArbnUjN--
