Thanks Tim, You put me on to the solution. I was invoking Perl scripts as #!/bin/perl which was not explicitly provided by the perl RPM package. That path happened to work by virtue of the directory symlink you pointed out. The fix was to change the interpreter invocation to #!/usr/bin/perl Jeff _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
