It's a CPAN module that you, or someone else, has added to your Perl. xsubpp is a standard tool which gets updated when you install ExtUtils::ParseXS.

As I said in the bug report, I see no mention of a requirement for XS files to contain the MODULE... line. >Can anyone confirm that after applying the ParseXS patch, I now >have a clean build of libwin32? > > I certainly believe so, but then I'm biased ;) - Steve ------------------------------------------------ Radan Computational Ltd.
