Thanks a gadzillion. I'll email you separate if I can't find the files.

I don't know if this has changed since I last looked at it. I don't recall where I originally got the perl version, but the tar files you need are: perl-byacc1.8.2.tar.gz perl5-byacc-patches-0.5.tar.gz perl5-byacc-patches-0.5.readme Maybe try: http://www.oasis.leo.org/perl/src/independent/perl-byacc.dsc.htmlq I have the files if you need them. Send me a private email if you want and we can arrange a way for you to get them. On a side note, the perl5 patches are not necessarily required just because you may be using perl5. It only adds an object-oriented interface to the parser. I think I ended up building two versions to experiment with, `pbyacc', and `pbyacc5' with the perl5 patch.
