vpp.pm is not used except if you don't have a working C compiler (to build the XS modules), so all you've done is the equivalent of replacing the fast C code with the equivalent [slow] Perl code. I'll look at your makefile output in detail tonight. In the future, you can force the pure Perl module to be used through the simple expediency of $ perl Makefile.PL --perl_only I don't have access to a Solaris 9 box (only Solaris 10), so you can either be my eyes and ears or (if possible) get me a login on that box.

Please try again with the 0.7501 that I just released to CPAN last night. I'm afraid that it might have something to do with the fact that you are building a static Perl, which is not something I've ever tried. However, one thing that I noticed from your output is that the XS module was built and the tests did succeed. I also see these lines: Show quoted text

> To install the new "perl" binary, call > make -f Makefile.aperl inst_perl MAP_TARGET=perl

but you are calling 'make install' directly. It may be that you just have to follow the above directions and it will Just Work(SM). As I said in the earlier response, vpp.pm is *not* used if you have built the XS code, so I think that it was a red-herring to just copy that into place... HTH John

Hearing nothing further, I'm going to assume that 'make install' did the correct thing. John
