Now that I have some context, I can answer a bit more specificly. MakeMaker is working as desired and as it always has. Params::Validate contains XS code therefore its architecture and perl version dependent. MakeMaker isn't going to try and pull apart the module into arch independent and arch dependent bits and AFAIK it never has. Sorry if this doesn't fit into Debian's view of the filesystem.

In any case, this is really an ExtUtils::MakeMaker thing. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ If I got anything to say, I'll say it with lead. -- Jon Wayne
