This is all handwritten code in Build.PL (with some logic to check if the files should be recreated) so I don't think we have a general problem here. Funny is the commented out line: 191 #distclean : unlink lib/perliso9660.pm, lib/perlmmc.pm lib/perlcdio.pm which seems to show that upstream already had the same idea :) Cheers, gregor, preparing an upload -- .''`.
