The important part of the sentence is "it must be installed separately". The 'see above' was intended to refer to those other modules which need it - they are indeed abve, but I accept the wording is not clear.. I've open to suggested rewordings, including just dropping that part in parentheses, or even dropping the whole paragraph. That wording has been in place since at least 7.10 (maybe even 7.9, I don't have a local copy of that) without anybody else noticing it can be confusing. So, just out of casual interest, which module(s) are you thinking about building which need(s) it ? I guess that the sentence in Module::Build 'If your version of perl is 5.20.2 or earlier...' can also go now, we moved to 5.22.0 by the time of LFS-7.8. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
