Ok, looking in the specified directories, I find the following:  
under /usr/libdata/perl5/List/ there is a Util.pm which, when I do a  
less on it says it is version 1.18. Then, under /usr/libdata/perl5/ 
i386-openbsd/5.8.8/List/ there is a Util.pm claiming to be version  
1.19. So it would appear that I have both versions on my system after  
all. Is there any special uninstall procedure I need to follow to fix  
this, or do I just delete the 1.18 version? Thanks.
