I can indeed confirm that > Perl is in the base sytem. thanks for the email. however i think we may have a pot-kettle situation here, so allow me to illuminate you. just because you are on an OpenBSD machine, and you have Perl, doesnt mean that Perl is in the base system. You could have installed OpenBSD long ago, which didnt have Perl in Base, then installed Perl at some point, giving you the illusion that Perl is in the Base system. The only way to know for sure, would be to do a clean OS install, or to load a live version in a virtual machine, as I did. Since you didnt specify, I have to assume you did neither. > Those pages you reference don't show every program in the base system Right. > they merely show the install file sets. Wrong. The FreeBSD page contains virtual hard disk files (.vhd), and the OpenBSD page contains virtual optical disk files (.iso). > You obviously have little experience with *BSD, please don't trumpet > misinformation if you don't know what you're talking about. I would say the same to you. good day. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
