If it needs it, you have to install it. Many modules have "dependancies" upon other modules, saving the module authors from having to reimplement everything all over again... I mean, isn't that why you want to install the module in the first place? :) Anyway, usually you wouldn't install modules by hand - that's not the point of packaging them up. If you are using ActiveState Perl (I.e. windows), you will want to use the PPM package installer. On Unix, you packed the files and then use the 'make' command, followed by 'make test' and then 'make install'... all as root. Furthermore, you can use the CPAN.pm module to install your packages very easily. Try: perl -MCPAN -e'shell' when installing modules becomes as easy as typing: install Most::Covented::Module Take care, Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
