Hi all,
Since we're discussing Devel::CheckLib, I wonder if this falls into the
same category.
Why is it "die 'OS unsupported'" in one case and "exit 0 unless happy()"
in the other? Seems like they should both be dying.
This one is more like "requires perl built-a-certain-way". I'm
considering just throwing an error like this from Build.PL
die "missing library sys/ioctl.ph" unless happy();
Thoughts?
