sorry, now I am out of my depths. You need to post the errors here and let one of the perl gurus takeover. <good_natured_rant> I really wish perl weren't as much of a pain in the ass as it is. I too second Nat's assertion (another thread) that it should be made easier for those who don't want to get their hands greasy with make and conf and build and whatnot (yes, there are some of us... probably most of us Mac users). I also second the assertion that Activestate's perl and ppm are absolutely wonderful. Sometimes I think that Windoze with cygwin tools installed is a really good opensource development machine !shudder!. sigh. </good_natured_rant> pk/
