Thanks anyway, I look forward to try and use PPM::Make.

My take on this is that PPM::Make will enable you to create a ppd file that works - but that ppd file will not contain the <DEPENDENCY> checks for the modules you specified ... and therefore you won't achieve your aim, anyway. PPM just currently doesn't have the capability to perform dependency checks on core and bundled modules - though that may change in the future.

I could be wrong, however - in which case someone will hopefully correct me.

Cheers,
Rob
