-=head2 Using external modules
-
-If warnings are enabled with Perl's C<-w> command-line flag, you are
-likely to see warnings when using external modules containing XS
-(compiled) code:
-
- Subroutine DynaLoader::dl_error redefined at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/powerpc-machten/DynaLoader.pm line 93.
-
-This is a harmless consequence of the static linking used for MachTen
-perl. You can suppress the warnings by using the more modern
-C<-Mwarnings> instead of the traditional C<-w>. (See L<perllexwarn>.)

=head2 Building external modules
To add an external module to perl, build in the normal way, which
is documented in L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>, or which can be driven
automatically by the CPAN module (see L<CPAN>), which is part of the
-standard distribution. If wou want to install a
-module contains XS code (C or C++ source which compiles to object code
+standard distribution. If you want to install a module which
+contains XS code (C or C++ source which compiles to object code
for linking with perl), you will have to replace your perl binary with
a new version containing the new statically-linked object module. The
build process tells you how to do this.
