If you use the h2xs trick - then you will be able to install it everywhere you want to be - and can then reference your own happy functions the simple way use MyNameSpace::ThatModule qw/:std :freak/; you may want to peek at: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/PID/ where I have the typescript of how to do a simple h2xs -AX FOO::BAR and some of the advice on that side. Give me about an hour and the upgrade to the alternative strategy will be up at http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/GlobalGame/ where I go into doing these things in a more OO's Manner. ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
