It's no use while checking if the OS is Windows, 'cause the distribution is intended for only Win 32 users. So you should predefine the hash below. > %options = ( buildprefix => '', > prefix => 'c:\parrot', > exec_prefix => 'c:\parrot', > bindir => 'c:\parrot\bin', > libdir => 'c:\parrot\lib', > includedir => 'c:\parrot\include', > ); > >As these directories may not exist in Windows, and I don't see anything that >creates non-existent directories, I believe I'll need to write something >that checks if they are there and creates them if they are not. IMHO, you better try tweaking some directories out of Perl. So if I had my perl installed at D:\Perl\5.6.1, I would be overflowed with joy having found your script installed Parrot as D:\Perl\Parrot and be cussing if it woudn't be so.
