Alien::libtermkey does indeed configure_require Alien::unibilium. When the perl-level Alien::libtermkey's Build.PL runs, it is of course free to make queries of Alien::unibilium. But what good does this do? Alien::libtermkey's next action is to unpack the bundled libtermkey.tar.gz and run "make install" on it. A:l cannot communicate anything it has learned from A:u into this Makefile, because libtermkey's Makefile tries to enquire directly of pkg-config itself. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
