This is annoying, because anything that uses *other* than filter::util::call *must* install the CPAN version. But anything that uses Filter::Util::Call on its own can do so from Perl itself. Its also annoying because the "cpan distribution" that ships that module is called "Filter" on CPAN, but "Filter-Util-Call" in perl/cpan/* -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
