Using grep instead.

Next to an ANSI C compiler the perl Configure process needs some basic unix-like utilities\, 'tr' is one of those Above message indicates that Configure found it\, but that the utility cannot be used because it cannot run on the current architecture/OS

Obviously it has found tr in '..'\, which is an odd element in someone's $PATH environment. Please check whether .. is in your $PATH\, and if there is indeed a (malicious) tr blocking Configure to find the real (good) one.

Please also state in these kind of reports in which environment (Operating System and Architecture) you are trying to build Perl

Enjoy\, Have FUN! H.Merijn

I don't have '..' in my $PATH. And only one 'tr' :

# whereis tr tr: /usr/local/bin/tr

Good.

That's not waterproof :)

Oh that's it... I had a stupid 'tr' named file in /tmp. I deleted it and no more problem. Sorry.
