My understanding (perhaps incorrect) is that debs are supposed to only need perl-5.6-base, not the complete perl-5.6. Unfortunately, perl-5.6-base doesn't include the File::Glob.pm. In previous releases of Perl this wasn't needed on most platforms: perl invoked csh (ugh!) to handle all the globbing the "glob" function needed. In Perl 5.6.0 they changed that to use internal globbing functions, in File::Glob. I submitted a bug against perl-5.6-base for this yesterday, saying that it should include File::Glob.pm. I suppose an alternative would be to disallow the use of "glob" in deb config scripts. Not sure what the final outcome of that will be. At any rate, the answer here is the right one: find a way to install the real perl-5.6, not just perl-5.6-base, and you'll be all set (for this problem, at any rate). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
