It used to be somewhere between semi-simple and semi-involved depending on how much experience you had with the process. >From what you say, it must have gotten much simpler with recent builds of ASPerl and in particular 822.

Absolutely! Depending on the length and where you would like to put it, you could either add it to the FAQ or create a new wiki page on par.perl.org. However you decide to do it, please link to it in the FAQ :) Best regards, Steffen
