I agree as well. I believe we've removed most if not all. The one place that external modules creep back in is version number parsing and comparison. I don't think it's productive or perhaps even possible to specify anything other than the behavior of MM->parse_version and the Module::Build equivalent. Likewise version comparison is only sane using version.pm because of how that logic is hard-coded into Perl 5.10+. I have, however, tried to give very specific, exact examples for usage. -- David
