Hi again,

Trying to learn more about custom install.  I ran across the Modifying an
Action section in Module::Build::Cookbook and tried to shoehorn that bit of
code into my script.  When I run
        perl Build.PL
I get
        Can't use string as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
when I call the create_build_script() method.  I've attached the Build.PL
file.  What am I doing wrong?

many thanks,
Boyd

I'm using M::B v0.4 / Fedora 13 / perl v5.10.1 x86_64-linux-thread-multi

This is me stepping through the build process with the debugger

Module::Build::Base::write_config(/usr/share/perl5/Module/Build/Base.pm:1318):

 <DarthBart> Nobody "codes" in Perl. Perl programs are written by eating
             a bag of alphabet pasta and then chasing it with ipecac.
 <xaxa>      My alphabet spaghetti only had A-Z. Perl uses the *other*
             half of ASCII.
