Hi all!
I am having a bit of a problem with Perl.
I am running a mostly hamm system, but whenever I use the newest perl

this of course breaks dependancies e

I went to the trouble of compiling from sources, and had the same problem

How can I set the ttys corresponding to ralt-Fx? /etc/inittab says nothing

Also, will these key combos ever conflict with any program's builtin macros?

Aaron-
When X starts, it will always locate itself on the next available
virtual terminal. Since the default is to have six, X gets tty7.
If you end up having 12 tty's as login consoles, X will (presumably)
get the 13th, ttyd.
I have no idea how you would map alt-esc to switch back to X.
However
I see that in /etc/inittab I can set which ttys correspond to alt-fkeys; I
would like to set all 12 of them to correspond to terminals. However, I
see no reference in that file to the action associated with alt-F7, which
brings up the x window interface. how can i set this action to another
