Any interest in this ?



Excellent!

Though I doubt that anybody will have this optional module installed. I wish we could find a good way to suggest all the optional modules one wants to install (there are quite a few needed to have 'make test' not skip some tests).


Yeah, too bad ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't have an 'optionnal requirements'
section like Module::Build 'recommends' option.

We could always write our own, and list a bunch of 'suggested' modules one
might want to consider installing, 'LWP' comes to mind as a first candidate.

Yup!

Also one day we may switch to Module::Build which I believe supports this feature.

BTW, there is also http://search.cpan.org/dist/Debug-FaultAutoBT/ but it has some problems sometimes :) But I don't think we need it, since normally we get the core dumped (with the exception to some OSes)

but please drop the spaces in the core_dump code. Thanks...


Will do. And the thread gdb commands also work fine with non-threaded dumps,
just sees one thread.

Great! +1
