It's perl 5.8.3 in both cases, as you say -- just to be sure, let's verify that. Ensure that each executable is the version you think it is

Verified. Both return 5.8.3 from 'perl -v'. However, the one on Fedora2 was built for i386-linux-thread-multi and the one on Fedora1 was build for i686-linux. I don't know why that would effect FindBin...

Second, check your %INC hash.

Done. Both %INC hashes are identical. Both scripts load the same modules from the same places, all within the 5.8.3 base module tree.

Third -- and this is not likely but possible -- check that your perls are actually using version numbering on their system library directories

Checked. Both are using 5.8.3 in their module paths.

then I will join you in being stumped.

Welcome to the club. I guess I'll just fix it and move on... I've got a nasty seg-fault to track down anyway.
