to correctly build a module, most of the times (if not always) you should have built the Perl executable with the same compiler you want to use to build the module. this is because ExtUtils::MakeMaker uses a lot of information from the Config module, which is built together with Perl. your Perl binary is probably instructed to build a Makefile which is not suitable for either Borland's or Dev-C++'s needs. you can try to manually patch Config.pm and specify your compiler, libraries, include paths, and so on, but it's probably simpler if recompile Perl instead :-) cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;
