Right, this is what I meant when I said >... as opposed to hacking MYXS into the MYAPP install script and modifying >PERL5LIB to point to the local copy ... Except recompiling Perl is a different form of the same hack. Ether way you'd have to control users with an iron fist to make sure they didn't upgrade their MYAPP without the equivalent module version. I was hoping for an elegant auto-detection facility or failing that some other module's hack to steal but it looks like Ken Fox' DIY solution is the best. Thanks, David Boyce
