Yeah - I know that, but SQL Fairy is written in Perl, and I don't  
really understand what's needed to make it build. I finally got it to  
work using CPAN, which was a nightmare involving typing in commands  
that look more like assembly language than command line syntax.   
Thank goodness for MacPorts.
