I'd like to do that, but I can't. For backwards compatibility reasons
Makefile.PL's must be run in package main. It changed accidentally in
5.48_01 and it broke several modules.
It does, unfortunately, shatter the illusion that each Makefile.PL is it's
own thing. You're welcome to play with ExtUtils::MakeMaker->eval_in_x() to
throw up more smoke and mirrors, but please make sure it will build PDL and
Wx.
Hmm... how was your Makefile.PL setup working before with 5.6.1's MakeMaker?
It should have blown up, or at least emitted a warning, there as well.
