No. The script has obviously never been tested with csh. It now gives off this error message: setenv: Too many arguments. And the script fails to perform its tasks. The trouble lies in the assumption that newlines will be preserved when the backquoted command is enclosed in double quotes. in bourne shell variants this works. Not so with csh. I do not know how to preserve newlines from a backquoted command in csh. However, one can use tr to replace newlines with semicolons. Below is a modified version of the script that does this: ################################################################# # invoke local::lib # default -- invoke local::lib for all users setenv PERL_HOMEDIR 1 # load our configs, aka opportunities to set PERL_HOMEDIR=0 if (-f /etc/sysconfig/perl-homedir) then eval `sed -ne 's|^[[:blank:]]*\([^#=]\{1,\}\)=\([^=]*\)|setenv \1 \2;|p' /etc/sysconfig/perl-homedir` endif if (-f "$HOME/.perl-homedir") then eval `sed -ne 's|^[[:blank:]]*\([^#=]\{1,\}\)=\([^=]*\)|setenv \1 \2;|p' "$HOME/.perl-homedir"` endif alias perlll 'eval "`perl -Mlocal::lib|tr \\n \;`"' # if system default if ("x$PERL_HOMEDIR" == "x1") then eval "`perl -Mlocal::libtr \\n \;`" endif ################################################################## Really, I think the perl-homedir maintainers should just stop pretending to support csh and remove the /etc/profile.d/perl-homedir.csh from the package if they can not be bothered to test their script. Obviously they know diddly squat about csh and are not able to support csh properly. As of now, all they have done is provide extra error messages for all csh users on systems that use the perl-homedir package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
