tollyban, Just in case the AIX is 5.2.0.0 or earlier, '-s' is not supported yet, just 'oslevel' will give you the AIX level. However, IMHO the more important question is what C compiler are you using? For CPAN installs I have used 'GCC version 4.2.4' with great success. YMMV. I don't know if CPAN authors verify that IBM's 'xlc' compiler will work with their package! Good Luck! "Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin	[reply]
