Hmm, the more I look at this, the more I realize that even the improved version of my patch is not ready for prime time. While it DWIMs when you call 'perl Configure.pl', it doesn't when you call 'perl Configure.pl --test' (as I do frequently). We only want MANIFEST.configure.generated to be opened or appended to when we are actually configuring -- not when we're running tests either pre-configuration or during 'make test'.
Any ideas as to how this might be salvaged? kid51
