I downloaded the source and thanks. But, it's not clear to me, a user of Perl, not a developer of Perl packages, how to compile it for Strawberry Perl. I have the ActiveState package installed on another machine - is it possible to use those installation files for Strawberry Perl? Thanks, EigenFunctions	[reply]
