I'd say so. If previous versions cause bugs, then they need to be blocked. Forgot to send this to the list earlier, too: I have to admit that I didn't notice that M::B was failing (I develop my perl stuff on Win32, so I hit the bugs, usually) because I was doing other things and haven't tried to update Module::Build lately.... Mea Maxima Culpa. One of these days I need to build myself a smoke-tester installation. (Once I get my current project out of the nest, I may just do it. Only problem would be installing a second instance of Perl and automating it - and that should be easy enough. Keep bugging me, OK?) --Curtis -- Curtis Jewell swords...@csjewell.fastmail.us %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail]
