While not trying to make Schwerns life difficult I released ExtUtils::Install 1.46 just now. Relevant part of the changes file is: 1.46 2008-03-01 12:42:35 Apply patches from Michael Schwern (rt #33688, rt #31429, rt #31248) and from Slaven Rezic (rt #33290). Also implemented the suggestion from Schwern about not dieing when failing to remove a shadow file that is later on in INC than the installed version. (rt #2928) Patch for p5p will follow later on. yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
