Thanks for the tip, 5.005_04 is doing much better. I have hit one snag but am not sure if it is critical or not. I've tried many different way around this, but can't make this test pass. This occurs during the make test phase:

lib/db-btree.......Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib) at lib/db-btree.t line 21. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/db-btree.t line 21. FAILED at test 0

I re-ran the make and make test on the old server and this test is skipped there. That server is running RH 7.1. Thanks
