I'd definitely go with having a separate Alien::prototype. I know that the whole extended prototype family likes to bundle the version they work with together with the library, but this can probably be handled by using versions of the Alien:: packages. I'd even probably try and match the Perl version with the JS version. Then Alien::Prototype::Window can depend on one version of Alient::prototype and Alien::scriptaculous can depend on another. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
