Thanks for the pointer. I downloaded arnesi from
http://www.common-lisp.net/project/bese/darcs/arnesi_dev finally and
this problem seems to be solved.

My environment is ACL 8.0 currently. I've tried loading cl-perec on
Allegro and now it's running into some troubles while loading the
computed-class-system package. I'm reproducing the error message
below:

Using package `COMMON-LISP' results in name conflicts for these

Will I require this patch in ACL as well?

The common-lisp.net site seems to be down right now. I'll pull in
fresh patches from all the darcs projects that I checked out and try
loading cl-perec tomorrow morning.

Saurabh.
