Thanks for reporting, I could not reproduce this with perl 5.8.8, so I guess this is indeed related to perl 5.10. I could not yet upgrade perl to 5.10 because of a dependency problem of libdbd-sqlite3-perl and libft-perl, so I will have to wait for tomorrow. If things are not fixed I will remove things depending on them and retry. In the meantime, I have looked at what seems to be the relevant code (in the updatedb function) and I plan to change it anyway to use globbing. I expect that will make code easier to read and as a side effect fix this bug. Regards, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
