Hilarious because I do the exact opposite and routinely sabotage CPAN.pm configuration so that Module::Build::Compat generated Makefile.PLs wouldn't be able to install Module::Build. Well, that was the original intention, before I started installing M::B on smokers. It does stop other people who have CPAN invocation in their Makefile.PL from installing stuff as well. >:) -- Chris Williams aka BinGOs PGP ID 0x4658671F http://www.gumbynet.org.uk ==========================
