This patch will not be going in because the PM_FILTER, and thus derived PL_FILTER, interface is fundamentally unportable. Sorry. See https://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=3736 I'd really, really recommend against the raw insanity of maintaining a forked, patched copy of MM. Not only for the maintenance burden it places upon you but for the problems it causes for those who wish to install your module. Instead, I'd recommend posting whatever it was that you were trying to do here and see if there's not another way to do it. Or add PL_FILTER in a MY::* subroutine, if you can avoid needing to hack the guts of pm_to_blib(). Or perhaps implementing the mentioned alternative filter interface. Or just use Module::Build and add a filtering mechanism. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ The plot seems complicated at first but with a little study it becomes hopelessly confused. - Peter Schickele, "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice"
