Simply cd to the modules/math/simple directory and build as per normal (perl makefile.pl, make, make test and make install if you actually want to install it) and there you have it - a module built using Inline. By looking at the contents of 'simple.pm', 'makefile.pl', 'manifest', 'changes' and 'test.pl', you can easily see the requirements for building a module using Inline. Cheers, Rob
