TTBOMK, that's considered "best practice" in the CPAN universe, in order to let the process continue (where "process"is installing multiple distributions or especially CPAN smoke testers). Random examples from my SSD: libnet-ssleay-perl/Makefile.PL: exit 0; # according http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes this is best-practice when "missing library" libterm-readline-gnu-perl/Makefile.PL:# exit 0 before creating the Makefile to be CPAN Testers friendly libtext-qrcode-perl/Makefile.PL: exit 0; # tell cpan testers that this is not a failure libxml-libxml-perl/Makefile.PL: exit 0; # 0 recommended by http://cpantest.grango.org (Notes for CPAN Authors) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Nick Drake: Hanging on a Star
