The build process takes time, if you don't give an indication of what's going on users will try to do funky things. Since the build process is comprised of many small sub-processes you cannot really use something like completion bar. Also remember that mod_perl build prints very little, it's the compilation messages that generated most of the output. p.s. I don't recall seeing silent build processes at all. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
