Yes, and that would be lovely.
While my big warning message might be loud and obnoxious, it:
1. only appears if there is maybe a problem
2. mentions Text::ParseWords and the version number
3. doesn't actually do anything.
4. can be removed in the next release.
If there ever is a next release of course.
"We" still need to get these things fixed:
win32: t/ext.t, t/compat.t
5.6.2: t/xs.t
And until Module::Build works on all of the targets, "we" can't put it
on the CPAN. If "we" can't put it on the CPAN, "it" doesn't exist.
If "you" can get it working and "we" can establish a regular
test/feedback system (for all of the targets that "we" care about) and
somewhat frequent/regular release cycle, then messing with warning
messages is only ever one release away.
But, these are just just my opinions.
