... module is no longer included in the ActiveState download ... That's why I recommend using Strawberry Perl instead of using ActivePerl: AP is essentially a binary distribution, using a propritary package manager. Either ActiveState (or someone else) provides a compiled package, or you are lost. OK, AS has added some package some time ago that delivers compiler, linker, make, but you need to know and install that. Stawberry Perl comes wil compiler, linker, make and everything else you need to build perl modules on Windows, plus several modules already compiled for you. It offers the same cpan tool that you find on any unix-like operating system. No surprises, no new tricks to learn to get stuff done. (Sometimes, I install SP just for the compiler, to get some C program running on Windows.) Alexander
