This looks good. Maybe it should be renamed though because its confusingly similar to Module::Info. A system that combined Module::Info with James' system and then provided a single API for _all_ of the info so that formatting systems (DocSet, mason components, whatever) could do something with it would be very cool. -dave /*================== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==================*/
