Loooking through further mails from the last major version update for Perl, it appears that a number of packages have embedded Perl interpretors. Since we still lack the infrastructure to have multiple Perl versions installed in parallel, these will also need to be updated as otherwise they might no longer be able to link into the perl DLL. The mentioned packages included: gdal gnumeric graphviz hexchat irssi libproxy link-grammar marisa net-smp openbabel openswan postgresql rxvt-unicode vim xfconf zbar zinnia znc Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Factory and User Sound Singles for Waldorf Q+, Q and microQ: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSounds
