These are two most commonly used build systems for Perl modules: 1) ExtUtils::MakeMaker (which uses Makefile.PL + make) 2) Module::Build (which uses Build.PL, in this case Makefile.PL is just a wrapper) In second case you're right that calling Build.PL directly is preferred, but in the first case there is no alternative. -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
