Yes sure, i got /home/siebenschlaefer/.bashrc

It contains aliases, e.g., here it is:
alias perlsync='rsync -auvz rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-
current/ .'   <-----------This is end of line one!
alias ls='ls --color'  
export PERLIO=stdio

if i type 'ls' the output is coloured:-)

I got a .bash_profile too, but it contains nothing, so i don't know, if 
there is s.th. read from.

In this moment, im running perlsync, my rsync alias to update latest 
perl-sources.
