Well, as you already pointed out. The real problem is that MakeMaker encouraged you to play with the actual Makefile contents. And even though there are ways around it for tests, what about for the install process? What if I need to run a few as part of the 'make install' bit? How else can I make that happen besides fiddling with the Makefile text itself? -dave /*================== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==================*/
