I finally was able to build pdl correctly under the experimental 5.005 packages. The demos all seemed to work OK. I guess most of the perl packages (particularly popular things like dupload) should be built this way and then we can try to get them all installed just before perl 5.005 is installed. Does this make sense ? John -- John Lapeyre <lapeyre@physics.arizona.edu>, lapeyre@debian.org Tucson,AZ http://www.physics.arizona.edu/~lapeyre
