Actually, I have a Math::Pari ppd built. I've been working w/Ben Trott on a port of Net::SSH::Perl (which requires Math::Pari) to the Activestate/Win32 platform. The pari library is currently built with the generic 'C' code, but I intend to get the asm code working soon. (I've built the asm-based Pari library successfully, but the Math::Pari Makefile.PL extracts the asm code into a separate file, although MSVC only supports inline) I haven't had much time to mess with it recently though. I've been planning on putting up a PPD distribution site for Net::SSH::Perl and its required modules. If people are interested, I'll see if I can get that done sooner than later... - Scott Scott Scecina In Mind, Inc. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
