Thx, now is clear to me.
The only dubt I still have is because of that in boostrap.pm:
Code:
--------------------
loadModules contains some trickery to deal with modules
# that need to load XS code. Previously, we would check in a module
# under CPAN/arch/$VERSION/auto/... including it's binary parts and
# the pure perl parts. This got to be messy and unwieldly, as we have
# many copies of DBI.pm (and associated modules) in each version and
# arch directory.
# The new world has only the binary modules in the
# arch/$VERSION/auto directories - and single copies of the
# corresponding .pm files at the top CPAN/ level.
--------------------
Is that a must or could we still have exceptions (.pm in specific
archs)?
I believe it works both and mixed ways, but...
Thx a lot.
