Fair enough I guess, though some command to do the above (just the compile phase really, there is no real need to do the install like this) would be tremendously useful to developers. Oh well, maybe one day I will get the time to learn enough Perl to try it myself... Cheers, Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't.
