I noticed that also. perlcc which comes from Perl 5.8.0 is much better than perlcc 5.8.1 the new perlcc is very buggy!!! Likewise I compiled my pdfmerge program with perlcc 5.8.0 and it was flawless, now the compilation with 5.8.1 sucks terribly. It's possible to downgrade... remove all Perl on your system. do an rpm -qa | grep Perl and rpm -e --nodeps whatever_perl_you_find and point your apt sources.list to a RH9 repository and perform and apt-get install Perl. and you'll get the old Perl back. I do not have the time to explain in details. If you require further instructions, post to the mailing list. -- With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg
