Hi Michael,

where did you find this wml-1.6.8-8 ?  The only one i find is wml-1.6.8-1.

>From the source rpm, i have build another source rpm which includes the
patch for perl 5.005. You can get it at
   ftp://imacs.polytechnique.fr/pub/tmp/redhat/wml-1.6.8-2.src.rpm

Rebuild it with
   prompt$ rpm --rebuild wml-1.6.8-2.src.rpm
This will create both binary and source rpms for your RH6.0.

Denis
