In some cases, like with ROX-Filer AppDirs, it'll even download and compile the prerequisite modules for you on the very first run. > (Trick probably being to come up with such a stub in a non-derivative > way of course). I don't think you can license an _interface_ -- only an implementation. -- Samuel A.
