Hi, I am new at this perl module stuff and hopefully someone can answer my question. I am trying to install the module Time :: Object on to my perl 5.8 running in a RedHat 9.0 environment but everytime I try to compile (make) the program it dies telling me some variables are missing. THis is a required module for a program call CMap that I am install. Does anyone have any suggestions or work around? Thank you very much. Siemon
