It shouldn't cause any problem, because typically system scripts that use Perl either call it out with a full path or don't use an interactive shell that uses a path coming from an rc file. In any case, there are unlikely to be any system-critical problems that arise. The worst I have seen has to do with some GUI tools like printconf-gui. If you want to remove even that worry, just change your path to put /usr/local/bin after /usr/bin. -- Mike Heins Perusion -- Expert Interchange Consulting http://www.perusion.com/ phone +1.765.647.1295 tollfree 800-949-1889 <suppressed> Find the grain of truth in criticism, chew it, and swallow it. -- anonymous _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
