I havent yet tried with perl 5.8.3, so I am still running 5.8.0, but i
+ did this;

perl -d tsm_processjob.cgi

and the debugger say's;

Switch::filter_blocks(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Switch.pm:94
94:              component: while (pos $source < length $source)
95:              {



Does this give anyone any hints??

also, regarding perl 5.8.3, I did a succesful make, install, from the 
+perl source distribution etc.. but I can still only find 5.8.0 on my 
+system. What gives?

Thanks,

Matt.

ok, figured out a way of getting 5.8.3 invoked instead of 5.8.0 .. but, and this is a big but, *cries* do I _have_ to install all of my modules again??!

Fire up perl5.8.0 -MCPAN -e shell and use autobundle to create a Bundle for your old installation; fire up perl5.8.3 -MCPAN -e shell and install the created Bundle (Something like Bundle::Snapshot_2004_03_03_00.pm), lean back and let perl do the work ;-)

Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: if the modules don't use XS, you might be able to avoid re-installing them by messing with @INC, but this is probably not recommended if you don't know what you're doing. Fire up perl -MCPAN -e shell and install your modules again -- that's the easy way.
