Consider yourself lucky =) I tend to flit from project to project, depending on what I feel like. Today I've felt like doing Builder stuff.

Technically possible, but too irritating to think about right now, and just not worth it. It's not as if the Builder setup time is excessively long. > > But it proved too much for my tortured brain.

I won't be releasing Builder with Dispatch onto CPAN until I see how it's being used. Just to make sure I've got the API reasonable. I don't want to be stuck with things like the 'regex' instead of 'Regex' and 'strptime' instead of 'Strptime' (though I don't really mind the strptime one as it's reasonable unique anyway). cheers, -- Iain.
