That meant that the generated makefiles contained a couple of references to perl58.lib that had to be changed to perl56.lib. There was also a stack of other perl paths that had to be changed to point to the 5.6.1 perl installation. And there was a reference to ExtUtils::Command::MM (which doesn't exist in perl 5.6.1) that had to be taken care of. With that done, 'nmake', 'nmake test', and 'nmake install' all proceeded smoothly and 'pp', at least, is working like it should. If I'm feeling sufficiently energetic and/or clever I'll try to get a proper understanding of the problem .... unless someone would like to save me the trouble :-) Cheers, Rob
