Hi Howard,

This seems to be a problem with the Perl distribution you have. It looks 
like you are using CPAN to install modules. Have you always done so? I'm 
just wondering if things have somehow got inconsistent.

Perhaps you could try the Perl newsgroup - this is not a GIFT problem.

Regards,

David
