Not sure what you meant where you talk about: > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Its been a good while since I built perl... and that was on linux, so does that not use system folders? You just put it somewhere out of way of the main line stuff like /usr/local? To build perl do you have a pretty good idea of what development tools I need to have installed. I believe there is a set that is recommended but my googling isn't finding it. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
