The user doesn't declare a lexical variable $last, so the while condition is looking at $main::last. I would recommend building your own perl and installing it in /usr/local, or some other location that will not interfere with the system's perl installation. It is easy (Configure -des; make test; sudo make install). Installing an rpm package that was built for a different version of the os is asking for trouble. -Colin. WHITEPAGES.COM | INC
