Thanks Jeff, for the quick reply. I type the text below but alas to no avail. Any other suggestions? bash-2.03$ perl patch -p0 < /var/www/html/squirrel149a/plugins/compatibility/patches/compatibility_patch -1.4.9.diff Can't open perl script "patch": No such file or directory bash-2.03$ Omitting perl at the beginning gives command not found.
