I've never had the need to do this. I build all my platform code in the same source directory in AFS space. > The .xs, .pm & .PL files should be platform independent. Is it a good > assumption? In theory, Makefile.PL may need some tweaking to account for platform differences. Again, with straight C code I've rarely had to do this. I keep coming back to your stated need to generate an export file manually. This should not be necessary and may indicate a problem with either the base Perl build or your build process. Steve
