Hi Massimo,

I didn't know about that.

Why not?

The first place where i look is Hobbes.

Hobbes is fine as long as you are willing to do the work to understand how
to use what you find there.

Now i'm using this one:
http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/perl-5_16_1-11_oc00.zip

It's your choice to try to install this by hand.  To somewhat repeat
myself, installing from zip files, whereever you might find them, is fine
as long as you are willing to do the work to understand how to install and
configure what you find.

Anyway with perl 5.16 from Netlabs i've no progress, same errors.

Not unexpected.  A script designed to work with a perl released something
like 8 years ago is unlikely to work as expected when used for perl built
to expect entirely different settings.

This is a script from the very old perl 5.8, who knows nowadays..

Almost everyone already knows that this script is no longer needed if you
install perl with yum.

yes, but i guess that if i install it with YUM perl will become under
path and libpath and for security reasons i don't want that "all the
system" can execute perl (like i had in the past with 5.8.x)

is there a way to do this?

thanks

massimo
