At least for mp2, Win32 is fine with the pre-built tables (generating them with Win32 is actually broken at the moment, so Win32 relies on someone else making them). However, as you say, there are other things build/xsbuilder.pl does, such as writing Makefile.PLs and adjusting the include/link options, that do require Win32-specific stuff. Maintaining them is a different matter ... Perhaps a script could be set up, run when a commit is done on cvs, that would generate the tables and notify someone if changes are warranted? -- best regards, randy -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
