Lo all:
Getting this weird error:

File::Spec version 0.08 required--this is only version 0.87 at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/File/Temp.pm line 129.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/File/Temp.pm line
129.
Compilation failed in require at ../l2_proc.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../l2_proc.pl line 6.

0.87 is > 0.08 so what is the problem?

/usr/share/perl/5.8.4/File/Temp.pm on my Debian system, that line says
this:

use File::Spec 0.8;

so, did you copy it wrong or does yours really want 0.08?

And yes, 5.8.4 has version 0.87 here.

There have always been issues with numerical versus string comparison
in Perl version numbers, but that does not seem to be the case
here...
