No! You cannot use libc5 compiled perl with glibc locales! Wait for a libc6 version of perl and everything should be fine again. Michael -- Dr. Michael Meskes, Projekt-Manager| topsystem Systemhaus GmbH [EMAIL PROTECTED]| Europark A2, Adenauerstr. 20 [EMAIL PROTECTED

checker libs with debugging symbols
