If you have the 5.000 release of perl5, then you'll need to get a newer version of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker extension which is used to convert the extension's Makefile.PL into a Makefile. The Des extension provides a perl interface to a DES library. You need a DES library to link against, of course. If you want a good implementation (or don't have a DES library already), then I can recommend "the Australian libdes" (Eric Young's implementation) available for anonymous ftp from (amongst other places) ftp.ox.ac.uk in /pub/crypto/DES/libdes.tar.93-10-08.gz. -------------------------------- cut here -------------------------------- Availability: anonymous ftp from ftp.ox.ac.uk in /pub/perl/Des-perl-a1.tar.gz. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Oxford University Computing Services "Widget.
