I think I found the cause of the other error (none of newFromPng, newFromJpeg, newFromGif getting exported): [.GD]Image.pm is built from a prototype Image.pm.PLS that has the following code: my $DEFINES = ''; my $VERSION = ''; if (open F,".config.cache") { chomp($DEFINES = <F>); close F; } ... if ($DEFINES =~ /HAVE_PNG/) { print OUT <<'!NO!SUBS!' sub newFromPng { ... with Makefile.PL generating .config.cache (or it should... I'm on an ODS-2 disk with traditional parse style). Once I change that file name to _config.cache, the generated Image.pm has all the methods. Another Gotcha I caught: bdf2gdfont.pls gets transformed to bdf2gdfont.pl on *ix, with a VMS special case generating bdf2gdfont.com instead - but Makefile.PL doesn't know about this...
