Hi Andrew

Thanks for your help, updating gcc made the problem go away, so it appears that Perl is OK.

Cheers

The issue is with the configuration of the system Perl installation. Can you email me the output from "perl -V" so I can see how it's being set up. Your fix may work for you, but it won't for some other Perl installations.
https://epics.anl.gov seemed to be down the last couple days?. Nice to see it back up, thanks!
The APS IT group only gets a few short periods to do maintenance and upgrades on our networks and systems, and the Christmas-New Year break is usually the longest of those. I can't guarantee that things won't go down again, but they do seem to be stable for now. If they do, try the new https://epics-controls.org website does have some stuff...


Nice new website!, but all of the install guides and techtalk history is at epics.anl.gov.
Very happy to find you're _not_ on furlough.
