Hi John,

> SUN83-PRODWEB>perl Makefile.PL
> SUN83-PRODWEB>/usr/ccs/bin/make

You have to be root (or user with similar rights) to do this.
So try (if you have the sudo package installed):

$ SUN83-PRODWEB>sudo perl Makefile.PL
$ SUN83-PRODWEB>sudo /usr/ccs/bin/make

Or get root (superuser) prior to installing:

$ SUN83-PRODWEB>su
Password:
$ SUN83-PRODWEB>perl Makefile.PL
$ SUN83-PRODWEB>/usr/ccs/bin/make

Cheers,
Lin

Thank you Lin, but the problem (or part of it) is I am not root... Hence
why I am trying to install in a local library.

jwm
