I'm not really sure but I do know that somehow PERL is involved. At a
certain point, all commands failed (like Paul wrote). So I took the train
to work and with help from several ppl on IRC we tried to fix it by
booting from CD, trying to ressurect a glibc (one from my box, and one of
Worf's). That  seemed to fix it, at least partially. Chroot worked, reboot
worked. However, when I tried to cast a fresh glibc it failed during
make install because PERL was borked. Ressurecting PERL failed because...
glibc was borked. And so on. I did some more searching and suspect that
more stuff is broken so I'm going to do a full reinstall next Wednesday.

Never did that on my own by the way (last time Erics helped me) so I'll
probably ask for help on IRC :-)

Cheers

P.S. since my work-box doesn't work too well atm, I don't read my mail as
often as I usually do, please send urgent comments to bas.vangils AT home.nl
