Have you installed the separate development tools disk that comes with MacOS X 10.1 ? If you haven't then I think you need to do this step before you can install any Perl module that relies on an XS (compiled) file. I checked on our other Cube, which does not appear to have the developer tools installed, and it is missing the perl.h file as well. I'd start with that before you try simply copying the bits for this one include file. I looked /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE on the machine where the install succeeded and there around 50 ".h" files in there. Someone more knowledgeable in MacOS X might be able to shed more light on this. Stph
