The problem was caused by placing the 3 files in the *same* directory as 'makefile.pl, 'My_module.pm', 'Manifest', etc. As soon as I created a sub directory (which I named 'extras') and placed 'arrays.c', 'arrays.h', and 'typemap' in there, all I then had to do was start the C code with C => Config => TYPEMAPS => 'extras/typemap'; #include "extras/arrays.h" #include "extras/arrays.c" and all was sweet. I couldn't find this requirement spelled out in any of the documentation, and the error message was less than helpful. Is this just a microsoft windows thing ? Or perhaps it's assumed that anyone with half a brain would know that extra files must be placed elsewhere than in the build directory :-) Cheers, Rob
