The heuristic would make more sense if it checked for *those namespaces* then. In which case these would go through just fine on, say, Solaris: * Date::Holidays::AU::Darwin * Test::Glob::Like::Win32 but these would be blocked: * Darwin::SomethingAppleSpecific * Win32::SomethingWindowsy -- David Cantrell | Cake Smuggler Extraordinaire Fashion label: n: a liferaft for personalities which lack intrinsic buoyancy
