Hi Dave,
[snipped] > > You can do "./Build dist". The latest Module::Build beta > (0.18_02) also I tried this. Here is the result. Creating DateTime-TimeZone-0.21.tar.gz Can't locate object method "create_archive" via package "Archive::Tar" at F:\pe ild/Base.pm line 1323. I then checked the Docs for Archive-Tar and found this: Although rich in features, it is known to not work on Win32 platforms. On those platforms, Archive::Tar will silently and transparently fall back to Archive::Tar::Win32. Please refer to that manpage if you are on a Win32 platform. OK, great, I guess I need to fill out another bug report? > includes a "./Build ppd" action to auto-generate a ppd file, > which may be useful. F:\perl_modules\DateTime-TimeZone-0.21>perl build ppd Cannot create a PPD file unless codebase argument is given I checked the docs for Module-Build and found no reference to the ppd function.

As of now I am unable to generate a ppm file for DateTime-TimeZone for perl version 5.8.0 Ron Hill
