Do you have a FAQ which could tell me the proper way to write a makefile.PL
for a perl module. I looked around and couldn't find one. Since this
module is pure perl, I don't want to have to use any external modules like
MakeMaker, or rely on make/nmake.
I think that I have fixed the problem with the permissions on the directory
used by this module. I am about to upload the new version.
Thanks for your attention,
Chris
