Hi guys!<br><br>
Trust the days of Christmas have been good for you all.<br><br>
UM.<br><br>
Thanks Cameron for the note that the .deb perl is fairly much
'perl-base'. I got that impression.<br><br>
What does one do when something doesn't work on Debian? Cameron
says 'don't wipe the disk...' but is there a clever<br>
Windows-like repair procedure? Say something quite structural ....
apt-get or dpkg ... how would repair happen??<br><br>
Explanation of previous post: I installed apache perl and php at
one stage and had apache working but php wouldn't (from apt-get).
<br>
I then started down the road of installing according to a couple of nice
fat texts I recently bought and<br>
saw there were a great many "--with-" and "--enable-"
options. So this is basically how I came to the conclusion that I
needed<br>
to work from sources. Also, there are many pages on the net
installing from source....<br><br>
I've also had a look at a package called ApacheToolbox. This also
indicates a heap of options. I want it all.. (Freddie &
Queen)<br><br>
Sorry guys, I'm a bit of a Windows man (in my thinking). Perhaps
I'm listening to too many marketing gurus ... <br>
When I install things I want every bloody option even though I may not
ever use them!! (just like Windows)<br>
If it then becomes a problem THEN I'll rethink it ... rather than try to
think of all the possibilities before installing ...<br><br>
Is there a 'SELECT ALL' option!?! <br><br>
Thanks again for the replies at least <b>I</b> learn ...!!!<br><br>
