(If includes doesn't provide enough for perl to work with then this is a bug in includes instead.) Roll on virtual packages...

This will prevent much of the functionality involving Perl header (.ph) files from working properly. You can get this by installing the 'source' debian package or installing it yourself. Once you have done this, you can re-run this script as 'perlconfig' as root. # Script done on Fri Aug 4 18:18:34 1995 ttfn/rjk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Richard Kettlewell : New bug report received and forwarded.
