[LON-CAPA-admin] Fedora 9, perl 5.10 and LON-CAPA 2.7.1

Hi,

I've been trying to get LON-CAPA up and running on some powermacs that  
we have here.  I've been able to get a good Fedora 9 install up, and  
the missing rpms built from the LON-CAPA sources.  The build goes  
through okay, I'm able to create a domain-coordinator, log in and run  
some test problems.

The issue I'm having, though, is with Data Plot problems (gnuplot  
using data, rather than curves).  It seems that in loading the "y"- 
variables, there's a problem with referencing the array.  The error  
message itself is:  "ERROR: , Can't use string ("201") as an ARRAY ref  
while "strict refs" in use at home/httpd/lib/perl//Apache/lonplot.pm  
line 1436."

I've been beating myself silly with this one for a while now.  I was  
just wondering if anyone has LON-CAPA 2.7.1 on Fedora 9 with perl-5.10  
running in a production environment.  I've been noticing that  
perl-5.10 can give errors like I'm seeing where perl-5.8.8 wouldn't.

If you do have it running, could you please let me know the version  
numbers of the perl modules you've got loaded (it's possible there's a  
more subtle version creep going on).  Below is the output of #yum list  
installed | grep -i perl | sort.  I have a few extras since I needed  
to build the rpms from source.  If you could point to any version  
inconsistencies, or just send me output of the same command I would  
appreciate it very much.

Many thanks,
