Freeside Problems

[Andrew Cameron]

Hi,

Conf::config is being called from UID.pm Line 224.

I have hardcoded my datasource, username, password into this script and
then I get passed that.

I then hit 
SOFTWARE ERROR
Illegal line in /usr/local/etc/freeside//conf.DBI:mysql:freeside/shells
/bin/csh /bin/sh /bin/bash 


This indicates the the problem is DEFINETLY related to the Newer versions
of perl. 

Is anyone Successfully using Freeside with Perl version 5.005 or Greater?

Conf.pm needs to be modified to work under perl5.00502 but I do not know
how to do it.

Regards
Andrew
