Thanks. I tried what you suggested. One problem is that the Makefile is still setting CC = cc so it still tries to compile with the C compiler. Here's the output: 
judyf: betaman.portsoft.com.138> make
mkdir ./blib
mkdir ./blib/lib
mkdir ./blib/arch
mkdir ./blib/arch/auto
mkdir ./blib/arch/auto/myclass
mkdir ./blib/lib/auto
mkdir ./blib/lib/auto/myclass
mkdir ./blib/man3
cp myclass.pm ./blib/lib/myclass.pm

cc: No input file specified, no output generated
*** Error code 1

I did an 'ls' and it turns out that myclass.cc does not exist. Neither does myclass.c for that matter. Then, I took out the line: 
    'XS'       => {'myclass.xs' => 'myclass.cc'},

in Makefile.PL. Then did a 'make clean' and reran '
perl Makefile.PL',
then 'make'. Here's the output:

Not sure why it's missing these lines in Makefile when it's in C++ mode. Also, I edited Makefile and these lines are still set to: <CODE> CC = cc LD = cc <CODE> I'll keep looking into it but if you have any further suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks.
