Dear all, Many thanks for all the people who recommended me Mandriva 2007. That's a real miracle! Now I would like to install Regexp-module and see there is no 'goal' in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux/CORE/EXTERN.h', required for `Regexp.o (I translated from Russian). What should I write to this EXTERN.h - file?
Many thanks in advance!
Natalia

  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrad
