It would be silly to give your module the same name as another, so I would either chalk it up to a brain fart on the author's part when writing the readme, or that this module was once called something else and took over the Inline::Tcl title. If you searched CPAN as the readme says, you'll see what's available. Matt

You are misreading the README.txt. Here is a more complete quote from it: ==== Other modules that might be of interest are 'Tcl' at: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Tcl This module is not related to the Inline::Tcl module, but it might be valuable to have some compatibility between the two. ==== The antecedent to "This module" is clearly "Tcl", not "Inline::Tcl". > Is this true, and if so, where > can I find it? You can find it at the URL provided in the README, http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Tcl Xho -- -------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- Usenet Newsgroup Service $9.95/Month 30GB

Oh well, that pie-in-the-sky that I thought was an Inline::Tcl module that wasn't alpha software was actually just a cloud.
