worked fine, thanks.

there was I trying to build String::CRC32 in the 'ext' folder - a pretty
simple module I'd have thought - *sigh*. After a lot of poking about...
Compiled! Failed to link, as I apparently didn't have PerlStub. Is PerlStub
a new thing, because I compiled XS with 5.004 and I never remember seeing
any PerlStub.
Anyway, I couldn't find PerlStub anywhere, locally or on the web so a mere
2 hours 20 minutes later (Power Mac 4400/200, OS 8.6) I have a freshly
compiled MacPerl-&-everything-else. And PerlStub. At last.
_Finally_ after all that String::CRC32 compiled, linked, tested, perfectly.
Thank goodness for tutorials. If anyone wants a copy then I'll package it
up.

I downloaded that as soon as I saw it :-) Expat and the Gnome XML lib, and
Xerxes and Xalan et al all took an incredible amount of dead chickens
before they'd even consider compiling at work. On Solaris, though. Kudos
for doing it on MacOS.

Footnote:
I had previously been simply giving MPW explicit xsubpp, MrC and PPCLink
commands. I got the xsubpp step done OK, but when MrC came along I got
these messages, which _really_ confused me.
