Speaking of XS-based modules and Module::Build, it should perhaps be observed that my ExtUtils::CChecker (a sortof "./configure"-alike helper for build time) natively supports Module::Build, but so far no real thoughts on EU::MM or M::I. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?ExtUtils::CChecker Suggestions/improvements/patches welcome. ;) -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
