I currently have a bloated Makefile.PL which does all sorts of devious and obscure things to MakeMaker's guts in order to get the Makefile I want. I feel a bit guilty about this and wanted to organize the code a bit better and get it included in MakeMaker where it could be a bit cleaner. But I take your advice. I will not worry about migrating obscure MakeMaker enhancements upstream but instead plan to switch to Module::Build some time. The bugs with C:\Program Files\Perl are still to do but that stuff seems pretty intractable since there doesn't seem to be any sane way to quote spaces in nmake, in general. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
