Build.PL can't change though. (Unless I can think of a way to auto-generate a Build.PL for compatibility with stale M::B's.) And, running Build.PL should still give the same output, right? (unless CPAN.pm is going to self-upgrade.) --Eric -- But you can never get 3n from n, ever, and if you think you can, please email me the stock ticker of your company so I can short it. --Joel Spolsky --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
