What I have to do so > that tram uses "perl" instead of "perl5". Best would be to fix Perl5 on that remote machine. But I understand that it might not be possible when the remote machine is not under your control. Tramp checks several properties of a remote machine during connection setup, like the Perl binary to be used. Since Tramp 2.2.7, such properties can be overwritten by own values - exactly what you need. You might add the following into your .emacs after loading Tramp: (add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties (list (regexp-quote "your.server.name") "perl" "/path/to/perl")) You could either install Tramp 2.2.7 from its ftp archive, or you could switch to the development version of Emacs, which contains Tramp 2.2.8-pre. > Thanks and Regards, > Ravi Best regards, Michael.
