Good morning. POE's Makefile.PL has been split into two versions: One for people using Perl 5.005_03 and newer, and another for backward compatibility. Makefile.PL itself is a stub that uses the appropriate forked version.
The split was done so we could use ExtUtils::AutoInstall to detect missing dependencies and prompt the user whether they would like them installed. This is much tidier than POE's old dependency checker. There are vague plans to stop supporting Perl versions before 5.005_03. While something as static as Makefile.PL can be forked, it's a major task to do that throughout POE. Thank you. -- Rocco Caputo / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
