He is trying to let you know that Makefile.PL contains the names of the modules this one is dependent on. Specifically the hash ref stored in PREREQ_PM. use strict; use warnings; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'Text::Balanced', AUTHOR => 'Damian Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Text/Balanced.pm', ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/Text/Balanced.pm', INSTALLDIRS => ($] >= 5.007003 ? 'perl' : 'site'), PL_FILES => {}, PREREQ_PM => { 'Test::More' => 0, 'version' => 0, }, dist => { COMPRESS => 'gzip -9f', SUFFIX => 'gz', }, clean => { FILES => 'Text-Balanced-*' }, ); -- Chas.
