Diiiiiiiie!" Jim, still around? Although the UTF-8 fix finally worked, it turned out to be incompatible with older versions of Perl MDS is still using. I think I know what to do but I'd like to make sure it doesn't make the UTF-8 trouble come back again. This is very very unlikely to happen, but who knows... Please edit your local copy of sensors-detect, search for the "sub initialize_ioports" and make that function looks like this: sub initialize_ioports { sysopen (IOPORTS, "/dev/port", O_RDWR) or die "/dev/port: $!\n"; binmode (IOPORTS); } (If you still have the -k4 script, it will probably mean removing O_BINARY and :raw. These are the things older Perl don't know about.) Then let us know if the UTF-8 test still works, or not. Thanks! -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
