Hi Allen, Thanks for the tip on DIR in MakeMaker. I am new to this game and am definitely looking for the simplest, easiest and most supportable install. I believe I will soon have a product that has many modules since I am using the object oriented method with Perl. There will probably be many dependancies. I am hoping the method you recommend will allow one pass of the 'perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install' procedures can handle all of them in the proper order. I will definitely be looking into it.
