Yes, I would find that very annoying. I don't use any of the CPAN family of modules very much - I avoid them unless there's a very long dependency chain. Consequently, I don't know much about the options they provide, or about the details of the way in which they're supposed to work. Did David's reply help ? The only thing I can think of adding to what David provided is that, if you're happy to accept the default, then setting the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable to 1 should enable that. (The default will be 'y' if a compiler is found, and 'n' if a compiler is not found.) Cheers, Rob
