I apologize, but I still must be missing something here. OK, here is a recap of what I just did.
1) I wipped out all copies of Perl distributions on my machine and freshly downloaded ActivePerl and successfully installed it. 2) I wipped out all copies of inline (the entire unzipped package) on my machine and freshly unzipped it to a newly created directory called (C:\my_build_dir) 3) typed: cd C:\my_build_dir 4) typed: perl Makefile.PL And here is the entire output: C:\my_build_dir>perl Makefile.PL Can't locate Inline/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/sit e/lib .) at Makefile.PL line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1. So, Rob you suggested that the next step is for me to try to build Math::FFT. Is there some special way that I am to perform this?
