I just found out that default > installscript is /usr/bin, not /usr/local/bin. As far as I can tell (which isn't very far, since the Config.pm documentation is rather terse), /usr/bin is the correct value. I just checked a couple other perl installations (5.6.0 and 5.005_03, both on Linux) and they both have 'installscript' set to /usr/bin. Try poking around - can you find any perl installations that have 'installscript' set to /usr/local/bin , as you claim it should be? A quick way to check is with the command 'perl -V:installscript' at the command line. -Ken
