Thanks.

Have another question. What exactly do these intall steps do?

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

In the past I have checked a modules source and if it was pure perl I manually placed it in the correct directory. A week ago I had a module where this didn't work UNLESS I removed the comment statements; then, all was fine. I tried using the above steps but the "make test" wouldn't work. Someone on this forum sugessted skipping this because they suspected I didn't have something installed (I have perl that came with 10.2.x - think it's 2.6). The install "worked" but I still had to remove the comment statements?????
