Re: PM error after RH5.1->5.2 upgrade

[Rama Roberts <rama@Eng>]

I haven't tried installing PM under Redhat, but my guess is that
you're using the wrong set of perl files. From my Sparc Redhat 5.2
box:

[rama@gorgon roberts]$ uname -a
Linux gorgon 2.0.35 #1 Wed Oct 14 10:16:12 EDT 1998 sparc unknown
[rama@gorgon roberts]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[rama@gorgon roberts]$  perl -V:bincompat3
bincompat3='y';

The important part is to check to see if that bincompat3 flag is set. If
it's set to 'n', then you'll need to download the perl5.004 packages.

BTW- Bharat- thanks for Burritotool!
