Send me the file or a >URL, if you like. Thanks for offering to help. I've been working on compiling the licensing and getting a fairly automatic copy mechanism setup for most of the day. I maintain these modules without any distribution info so that I can write that in only one place and tack it on before distributing. The complete set is 14 modules (but this leaves out Math::Vec) I would have posted these to pause, but it seems to be down. Everything under the CAD::Drawing tree could reasonably be distributed as one module, but I have plans to eventually remove the dependency on the non-gpl-compatible OpenDWG toolkit used by CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI and most of the other modules under CAD::Drawing::IO should be optional (but it seems like this means re-writing the code on installation to remove the 'use' statements.) I could see distributing it as 14 separate modules, but I fear that this could make installation a total pain (is there some way to allow interactive options during install?) It seems that the h2xs makefile would work for all of the pure-perl modules, but the one which is giving me trouble is the Inline-based CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI. Note that to build this you will need to get the OpenDWG toolkit and set the location of their "ad2init.dat" (some kind of binary startup file) in the functions.c file. If you decide that this is more than you want to get into, I'll understand, just let me know. I've posted the packages at the link below. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/mycroft/CAD-Drawing-0.10.tar.gz http://pages.sbcglobal.net/mycroft/Math-Vec-0.01.tar.gz Thanks, Eric -- "Politics is not a bad profession.
