Hi Chris, Thanks for the extensive testing and reports. It will help me debug the next time I run into this situation. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with the innards of A::T to be of any further help. If you want to continue tracking, perhaps you could try running your Build.PL through the debugger to find where it's looping. Otherwise, I'm sure you've already taken the measure to remove the SMOKE.PL from your build script.
