Guilty as charged. The only reason I updated to 5.20 was that the pkg repository changed. However, I think that making 5.22 the default before fixing up (for me at least) some issues with modperl support might be a bit premature. Just for my information, and because I just know you will laugh and you need some amusement: Where and what do you stick 'USE_PERL=XXXX'? /etc/make.conf? I don't mind trying to compile the modules I use and see if they work. -- Patrick Powell Astart Technologies papowell@astart.com 1530 Jamacha Rd, Suite X Network and System San Diego, CA 92019 Consulting 858-874-6543 FAX 858-751-2435 Web: www.astart.com
