FYI, it works fine for me with perl, v5.8.5 built for i686-linux-thread-multi, but I don't have a solaris machine lying about. Some quick checks: Is your installed pp actually using /usr/local/bin/perl? (IIRC solaris 8 still uses perl 5.005_03 by default.) Is your PAR version up to date?

All up to date, but I do have 2 diferent versions excepting the default one, I have installed the modules on both, Im gonna try and "re-install" them gain tomorrow... It can be a PATH priority... The weird thing is that is only bothering me with POSIX module. Go to check it out in the morning, anyway if somebody faced this problem, I would off course appreciate the hint.

I am getting the same message <pp> "BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 835" on Mandrake Linux, perl 5.8.6 par 0.87 It runs find as a perl file. I am going to post a sample script that duplicates the problem at par@perl.org, and refer to this perlmonks node in my posting. I will do it shortly. --M. Nooning	[reply]
