Hi Martin,

Well and I for one would be of the pro exit 0 school, so never mind me. I will jump back in my hole.

I sincerely hope I am misunderstanding the comment "Returning 0 without having accomplished the primary goal of the Makefile.PL, to generate a make file, seems like a serious error/bug" because I only changed my Makefile.PL to do exactly that (exit with 0 without generating a Makefile) at this lists advice. I also included build_requires, configure_requires etc etc etc in the hope of getting successful reports. Please tell me I've misunderstood the above comment because I don't think it is fair on module authors to continually expect them to make changes that don't stand the test of time.

Some people have philosophical objections to the "exit 0" trick.

I don't think that trick will be reversed, but we might try to be
smarter for those who object to using it.

So I don't think you'll need to change things yet again.  We're not
that cruel.  ;-)
