This got me thinking, since I know that pearldiag.pod is there what else could
stop the script - permissions! So, I ran the script as root and, whaddayaknow,
it runs.

Is this right?

root:/usr/lib/perl5/pod# ls -l perldiag.pod 
-r--r-----   1 root     root  77316 Dec 22 18:44 perldiag.pod

(the new date is from a cdrom install I tried yesterday)
Should I change the permissions to 444 on all the pods?

Merry Christmas!

Jim
