It doesn't look like resume does all the checks that Build does to ensure that the _build directory is up-to-date. >> 4. Run "./Build distmeta" then read META.yml.

I don't see any advantage to using MYMETA.yml for this. I'm building the CPAN release, so I don't want any system-specific information. And just running Build.PL wouldn't generate the other files that distmeta creates. I think I'm going to try option 4 first, and see how that works out. -- Chris Madsen p...@cjmweb.net -------------------- http://www.cjmweb.net --------------------
