I think I might be interested in this. Especially since I haven't seen any posts about it yet.Perhaps I was too quick to suggest the implementation stage. There are two things:
Any pointers on where to start ?
I'll get back with more info later this weekend (aka not valentines day)
First, we need an approval from Doug.
Second, it's a quite big job to do, because it requires a rehaul of the whole build system.
If Doug approves the idea. We need to discuss how this is going to be done. And then the work should be done in parallel with the existing build. And once completed and tested, replace the MakeMaker one that currently is in place.

Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 01:30:56 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tonite at Portland.pm I gave a lightning talk entitled "MakeMaker Is DOOMED! or MakeMaker Is Dead! Long Live Module::Build!". Executive summary: The architecture of MakeMaker is fundamentally flawed by having to use an external build tool. Further feature development is discouraged. Use Module::Build instead. Which is what I've been saying all long. :) http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/talks/MakeMaker_Is_DOOMED/ I'll be giving a somewhat longer version of this at the German Perl Workshop, pending some financial disputes, talking a lot more about Module::Build and less about how much I am sick of MakeMaker.
