Very good question, that is also the size of my perl binary, which is about twice as larger than I'd expect... For comparison the version of perl that is distributed with HP IA64 systems (called perl-dynamic...the standard perl binaries are symbolic links to it) appears to be only about 22KB, which is much smaller than I'd expect. The my_libperl.c that is produced with that perl distribution still appears to be 38MB, but the my_par.c is significantly smaller at 1.1MB. Scott
