Ah, well its nice to hear im not going mad (yet.)

Well, I dont think there should be a problem with doing both really. But for now, the MakeMaker patch should be fine on its own. The F::S::W32 patches are mostly to quiet warnings. I kinda hope an expert considers them carefully, perhaps leaving them as is and changing the tests makes more sense. I dunno. :-)
Anyway, im going to call this one an evening.
