Peter, Installing GCC on the box would be a major problem and one that I would rather not get into.
Why does Perl assume (if this is the case) that everyone who uses perl has access to a compiler?? I can not believe that most perl users have access to a C compiler? One would think that at least for the primary Unix flavors (Solaris, AIX, Linux, etc.) there would be binaries available for download with the the modules offered by CPAN.

Is there some reason you don't want to install gcc? -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
