C:\Lokale_Daten\XML-Edifact-0.47>perl makefile.pl I know I should check for those 99 possible places, but I prefer to ask :-) XML::Edifact will produce XML files that need a place for their document type definitions. The default points to my site, and store its files to a temporary directory. If you change them, part of the regession test will fail, so at best just press return. Anyway, do not provide a trailing slash, File::Spec will do that!

Looks good Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code. It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem. (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "\az-guinan\Applications\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h")
