xampp-linux - ftpasswd - perl

[helasz]

Hi All,

I am using Tiny Core 4.7.6, the /opt/lampp/bin/ftpasswd (password creation for proftpd) is not working due to missing /usr/bin/perl interpreter. Perl however is present (/opt/lampp/bin/perl [I do not see the reason why is it not a symlink to the same binary in the same folder perl5.14.2]).
So a symlink is missing to the perl binary which could be created in the install script of the xampp-linux.scm
(I know this bug is part of the originally released xampp-linux, but why not to correct it using the flexibility of scm.)

That does not look like a valid scm structure.
Scms shoul not have their bins in /opt.

Certainly no TCB Bug, if any at all!

Hi helasz
If you installed Xampp yourself, which it sounds like, as opposed to using the SCM you should mention that.
