It isn't that difficult, at least for distributions that don't need a C compiler. But if there are no ppm packages available, it's worth setting up the CPAN.pm module to build things - C:\> perl -MCPAN -e shell will start things off. You'll need 'nmake' as your make program, which you can get from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/nmake15.exe as a self-extracting archive. One nice thing about CPAN.pm is that it will follow and build for you any required dependencies. -- best regards, randy
