Isn't this pretty much the same thread as the "/hurd" topic? There's more than enough background there! :-) I've got to do the same thing with perl, where a client is insisting on 5.005 and we need latest greatest for DBI/ODBC. -x isn't going to help me with @INC. I'm thinking it will be easier to build my own perl from CPAN or deb src files. -- Christopher F.
