You're right! Upon a little further checking I discovered that CPAN *didn't* 
update libnet after-all... It <CPAN> has a built-in checking facility <at 
this point anyway> to keep you from entering incorrect values when updating 
libnet... Since I skipped this, it simply left the old libnet.so in place... 
It still sits on the box time/date stampped with all the others in /i386 as 
Jun 3 99..  :)

Just FYI if anyone should pull this archive down the road and need to know, 
libnet.so is stored in:

/usr/jre1.2/lib/i386/libnet.so

Cheers!
