I'm about to release Devel::CheckOS (which lets you ask things like 'is this a Unix system?') and Devel::AssertOS, which came out of discussions here last week.
The Makefile.PL is interactive. *Please* for this first release read what it says *carefully* and answer the questions truthfully. If it guesses your platform wrong, please tell it, and then carry on testing. That will generate a fail report so I can fix the bug. I have tested it myself on: Linux OS X NetBSD Solaris FreeBSD and would be most grateful if it could be tested interactively on as many other platforms as possible. In particular I need results from non-Unix systems. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "topless karaoke murders" On the bright side, if sendmail is tied up routing spam and pointless uknot posts, it's not waving its arse around saying "root me!" -- Peter Corlett, in uknot
