I also prefer -debuginfo over _debuginfo. In my case perl had previous usage of seperating internals packages with "_" (manpages) from normal perl packages seperated with "-". -debuginfo would have looked like a package called debuginfo from CPAN. Please use -debuginfo. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
