My point, of course, is if you install a library locally (say a debugging version of a library) you can link with that using LIBS when building the normal module. And to be consistent, "make perl" should also link with that library and not the default on on the system. It's not really necessary, but I've used "make perl" to make debugging XS code easier in gdb. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
