Hmm, might be something else funny then. This is what I pulled from the net just today with dselect: Package: perl Status: install ok installed Priority: important Section: interpreters Installed-Size: 6618 Maintainer: Darren Stalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 5.004.04-4 Replaces: io Provides: io Depends: perl-base (= 5.004.04-4) Pre-Depends: perl-base (>= 5.004.04-2) Suggests: perl-suid, perl-debug Conflicts: io Actually, I had problems similar to yours myself a week ago and it went away only after some drastic measures that I shouldn't advocate on debian-user. I purged perl, perl-debug, perl-suid and all perl related libraries and modules. Only perl-base I kept. I had to use --force-depends on dpkg or I would have had to remove and afterwards reinstall a lot of other packages. Then I reinstalled perl-base and installed perl and the rest. It worked again after that and I never found out what had been the cause of the problem. A couple of days later, after I had learnt about the Handle.pm fileversion problem, I installed bo-base on a collegue's pc and immediately after that upgraded to hamm. On his system, I saw perl programs dump core and it was in that case indeed caused by Handle.pm. Removing the file solved the problem there.
