You can go to: http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/A/AU/AUTRIJUS/ (by clicking on the "[Archive]" link at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/) and download: http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/A/AU/AUTRIJUS/Module-Install-0.54.tar.gz (by clicking on the link to Module-Install-0.54.tar.gz.) Then you can check by comparing files. I would think that PAR uses a stock standard 0.54 - that somewhere along the way it was decided to change M::I's find_extensions() for reasons not related to PAR - and that 0.61 doesn't work in the environment in which I used it because of that change to find_extensions().. That is, I would think it's a "diff that has happened to Install between 0.54 and 0.61, thus breaking PAR" - but I haven't checked. Cheers, Rob
