Stephen Zander has been working towards an "out-source-experience" for perl5. Configure is supposedly already fine for this, it's the Makefiles, the numerous shellscripts, and MakeMaker who oppose building outside of the source directory such an adventure. Stephen even did have a rather promising patch few weeks before 5.6.0, but unfortunately it wasn't as portable as we hoped because there are so many different flavors of make out there. So it didn't go in. -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen
