I've downloaded the perl menu script. Looks simple enough to configure. However, cursesperl is not. I'm running bsd386/1.1 and I can't get perl to compile so that I can go into the usub directory to compile cursesperl. This little problem has had me stumped for over a week now. Can anyone provide a copy of cursesperl that'll work right out of the archive?!? -- ---------------------------------- Josh McCormick jmccorm@galstar.com
