Both options do not look like what I suggested. I'll repeat in shortspeak, my posting was apparently too long. diplomatic writes Makefile.PL (diplomatic) and Makefile-trad.PL (traditional). On the user box: The diplomatic calls the traditional if no Module::Build is install, otherwise it plays the Build.PL. In the latter case a small Makefile is provided too, so that a call to 'make' translates to a a call to './Build'. I hope this is short enough to make spot and focus match. -- andreas
