Re: Installing this module.
After trying to duplicate the problem, I believe that I have been able to determine that the problem is not with your module specifically, however, it with a seeming fundamental prerequisite of your module (or sub-distro, however you would like to clasify it) - ARSPerl. I apologize in advance for the confusion, however, perhaps you may be able to offer a solution, or at least some guidance since your module is based on this one. Here is the output from an attempt at installing the module with CPAN:

As you can see, near the beginning of the make attempt, I get this error:
/home/jcmurphy/arsperl/api/5.1/include/ar.h

Like I said earlier, I realize that this isn't with your module specifically, but hopefully you could offer some advice. Thanks.
