1) I am a creature of habit and my fingers have 'memorized' perl Makefile.PL, make, ... 2) In the early days of the CPAN shell I had a lot of problems and my brain can't forget them... 3) I am a closet power freak, and I like feeling I am in control (even when I'm not)... ON THE OTHER HAND 1) The auto-prerequi. is sooo nice... 2) CPAN shell is all fixed now... AND 1) Thanks for the info. 2) :) :) :) Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
