Files=1, Tests=4, 2 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU) I just used it to build inline-0.44-release-candidate-1 (including Inline::C). Built fine, producing identical results. Btw, my perl is also essentially activeperl (build 626) - built from AS source. (Made no significant alteration to the makefile that they supplied.) Cheers, Rob
