If you had not yet created the .xs file at the time you ran "perl Makefile.PL", then the generated Makefile would not know that it needed to do anything with the .xs file. Try rerunning "perl Makefile.PL" now that you've created the *.xs in that same directory. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

Check out http://lbox.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pm/Tie-Pointer/ to see an unfinished module of mine that uses XS. You can compare and contrast your Makefile.PL w/ mine to see where you've gone wrong.	[reply]

Did you start with h2xs to create the XS .pm and Makefile.PL stubs? Michael	[reply]

My initial command was `h2xs -n Parrot::Interp`. It generated the .xs file for me. However, when I ran the command again with a different module name, the generated Makefile.PL looked the same. =cut --Brent Dax There is no sig.	[reply] [d/l]

What does your Makefile.PL look like? Like the other poster here I just tried it with `h2xs -n MP::Test` which created the necessary stubs. Running `perl Makefile.PL;make;` did invoke the compiler on Test.xs for me... Michael	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Is that all there was to the command, no other flags? I ran that exact command just now, and the resultant `Makefile.PL` doesn't appear to reference the XS file, but when I ran "`perl Makefile.PL`", the resulting `Makefile` did in fact have all the rules and references to compile and line Interp.xs. --rjray	[reply]
