Hi guys! I installed Bioperl on my machine(winxp - perl 5.8) and it works fine. Now I need to install the bioperl-ext module on my machine (winxp - perl 5.8) to be able to manipulate .abi files. I've downloaded bioperl-ext-1.5.1 from bioperl.org. I unzipped it and typed perl makefile.pl in my bioperl-ext DIR and here is what I get. 
C:\Perl\bioperl-ext-1.5.1>perl makefile.PL

Ok, I really don't know what the error message means. Can someone help me plse? Also it was mentionned somewhere that this module could possibly need the Inline module which I also installed.
