However, I really have to question their methods to try and build modules: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-linux/linux-5.8/Math-BigInt-BitVect-1.12.txt The dependecies could be easily fullfilled (newer versions of BigInt are in the core and on CPAN!) but apparently for some reason it doesn't fullfill them, and then proceeds anyway, and the tests fall flat on their face (doh!). I really wonder what is going on with their build system, Tels - -- Signed on Fri Jul 16 12:07:55 2004 with key 0x93B84C15.
