Hi sirsir,

To answer your question 'so am I screwed' (which I noticed you have replaced with the information above), you can simply restore what you have deleted from your last good system backup.

Annoying isn't it? At my first computer programming job, I realised that I had made a mistake and deleted a file I had been working on (some Allaire ColdFusion nonsense I believe:). I wasted no time in telling my co workers of my mistake, at which point one of them replied:

"Thats ok, just restore it from backup"

I had no backup to restore from. Lesson learned.

On a serious note, is the current state of play that you do not have /usr/bin/perl (and /usr/lib/perl5/). If so I would be concerned about system stability.
