Actually, I was going to point out that I took one of the rare machines that I have access to that isn't infected with my entire toolchain and installed Bundle::CPAN. The very last thing it installed was Module::Build itself; I was trying to see how long the Bundle::CPAN that is distributed with CPAN has included M::B, but search.cpan.org is having some issues at the present time. :( John -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747
