As a Makefile.PL, we aren't really supposed to be able to know how DBI is implemented, or how it got there. We're just asking for the API.
I agree with the compiler feature point though, the errors we're getting are mostly about no cc command at all. Maybe we can just pull something similar to Module::Install's can_cc command into the Makefile.PL http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/ADAMK/Module-Install-0.91/lib/Module/Install/Can.pm Adam K 2009/8/14 Kenichi Ishigaki <[email protected]>: > Hi. > > 1) We can rather easily see if a compiler exists or not, but > I think it too much to test if the compiler has some feature > or not.
