Hi,

Hi,

    $ sh def

    $ perl makefile.pl
    Can't locate object method "new" via package "Module::Install::base"
     (perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Install::base"?)
     at inc/Module/Install.pm - /Users/gbarr/Library/Perl/Module/Install.pm 
line 269.
    %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

That looks like a Module::Build only type of module, bah!

I've never managed to get Module::Build working on OpenVMS; So this looks 
like a nono.

You might want to contact the author and ask him kindly if he can provide 
you with a MakeMaker version of Makefile.PL

Good luck,
