[ic] Still Clueless

[Frederick R. Matzen]

the results are:

lsh107:~$ perl -e 'use Cwd; $dir = cwd(); print "my dir is $dir\n";'
my dir is /home/shop4thingys
lsh107:~$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
lsh107:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           18 Aug 16 14:51 /usr/bin/perl ->
/usr/bin/perl5.6.0*
lsh107:~$

The OS is Redhat Linux, at least v.6 but they might have upgraded. I don't
know how to check except ask the site host.
I tried this install on Free BSD Linux also and had the same exact error on
another site host.

It's probably me :-)
