Wow,

Thanks for all the help everyone.

And I installed what I thought was an RH9 compatible rpm ... PerlTk-8.11-1.i386.rpm.

If I should burn this down, & start over with known good downloads, can you direct me to the right links eg. the Perl 8.5.1 mentioned previously ... just so I am on the same page with everyone else.

Thanks Again Monks
