BUILDING If Perl5 is installed do: perl Makefile.PL If Perl5 is NOT installed do: perl Makefile.PL PERL_SRC=/path/to/perl/source/dir Then do: make make install Do NOT hand edit the generated Makefile unless you are completely sure you understand the implications! Always try to make changes via the Makefile.PL command line and/or editing the Makefile.PL. You should never need to make any changes. If you do *please* let me know so that I can try to make it automatic in a later release. -- Alligator Descartes. http://www.symbolstone.org/descarte/contact.html
