How cool, thanks John! actually under Murugans suggestion, I switched to stable version, but then again I got the eros for the online price retrieval script I got in the first place, after a long battle, I decided to try the unstable one.. now although I got the same errors as before (usually about missing /t and /bin folders in cpan/build I gave up, until I saw by my surprise, that somehow it got activated even the script didn't finish there.. so it must be thx to the unstable one.. Once 9.04 comes out, I'll switch back of course! So happy to have contributed! you guys rock! BR, Rolf
