Thanks Larry and Mike,

After quite a bit of modification (and help) I sucessfully installed the rpm, but have had
a failure at the checkout with flycat having an undefined subroutine &Vend::Config::getUPS,
then two runtime errors with password mismatch (BTW what is minivend's password?) Its
obvious that something's amuck. Is there a list of modules required to in place prior to
installation? Isn't the pre-install script supposed to check for dependencies?

I'm desperately trying to get into the code-generating mode rather than
installation-fire-putting-out. Thanks for being there...
