ROFL, ty indeed Ed! (holds head in shame)

Well I said it was a FRESH install

Ok, I get that past make , make test on the other hand is throwing up a quite alarming number of Uninitialised strings and other things, so my next question....would it be wise to go ahead and install?

Perhaps I am doing something naive, I am just trying to add a few modules to the existing perl binary shipped with the system, should I be rebuilding perl completely ?

Here's the output of make test...
