Dear Sascha & co.. Thank heavens I subscribed to this list! I have
only just installed Interchange on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE and have been
concerned with just this problem. I encounter it with the Foundation
demo running perl version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd.

If you find a fix for perl or can make any further suggestions can you
please post them to the list?


Many regards,

 Richard Mahoney
