Hi Julian, Once you have installed Perl from sources you should use the CPAN module to install more modules. Stay away from the ports collection now. Do 'perldoc CPAN' for info. But here's the example for the impatient: $ perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> install Digest::MD5 cpan> exit BTW the first time you run CPAN it will ask a bunch of config questions. You also probably want to verify that 5.6 Perl is the one in your path with 'perl -v'. Just in case, you know. HTH and Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers (tayers@bridge.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
