My initial command was `h2xs -n Parrot::Interp`. It generated the .xs file for me. However, when I ran the command again with a different module name, the generated Makefile.PL looked the same. =cut --Brent Dax There is no sig.	[reply] [d/l]

What does your Makefile.PL look like? Like the other poster here I just tried it with `h2xs -n MP::Test` which created the necessary stubs. Running `perl Makefile.PL;make;` did invoke the compiler on Test.xs for me... Michael	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK, little session where I try all three copies of Perl and both of my make programs. Using the Cygwin toolkit does get it to build, but trying to use the module crashes. The three Perls I have are ActivePerl 5.6.1, Perl 5.7.2 (patched to @13686), and Perl 5.6.1 as built for Cygwin.

Is that all there was to the command, no other flags? I ran that exact command just now, and the resultant `Makefile.PL` doesn't appear to reference the XS file, but when I ran "`perl Makefile.PL`", the resulting `Makefile` did in fact have all the rules and references to compile and line Interp.xs. --rjray	[reply]
