Thanks Corion, well I ran this little perl program to check: use ExtUtils::Installed; my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new(); my @modules = $inst->modules(); \n and it gave those modules as installed: Bundle::NetSNMP FCGI File::HomeDir File::Which IPC::Run3 LWP Mac::SystemDirectory Mail Perl Probe::Perl Test::Script URI XML::Parser XML::Quote they should have been among this list- right? Well I'll try to install then a new version of perl. I should be able to get the latest perl version myself? (confused about the vender- if my version is screwed up, can I not fix it myself? ) Thanks again C
