My suggestion: in Makefile.PL, I would check for the existence of one of the other. If either exists, I'd skip that prerequisite entirely. If neither exists, I'd arbitrarily add one of them as a prerequisite -- whichever has the best record of successful installation. That way, someone that has what you need isn't bothered, but someone without either one at least gets one module that makes your module work. Regards, David Golden
