Ok, then I'll add that to my list of things to take care of. I'll have to see if I can get a hold of a few older releases of Prototype to help pre-populate the dists with a few versions to work with. I know I've seen a few things that use Prototype that -weren't- compatible with newer versions, so I'll have to double-check on those and add any "conflicts" tags as necessary. That said, I -do- know that the Alien:: packages that I uploaded to CPAN yesterday all work with the latest version of Prototype (I've got one project using them all together and it works just fine). -- Graham TerMarsch --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
