Okay. That has me asking the question of what is meant by what modules and versions are required to be "fully supported in core", and is it looking like it's going to happen with 5.10.1? I'm a little fuzzy at the moment (see below). > It really wouldn't be very hard to crib the easy style of M::I for > simple M::B modules. > > > If M::B had easy-to-implement ShareDir support, I'd be using it for that > > module instead of M::I. > > Patches welcome. ;-) It's really easy to write an M::B subclass and > stick it in inc/.

Right now, I'm not feeling well, (caught myself a bad cold) and Perl::Dist::WiX and the WiX-using Strawberry branch are priorities until the April Strawberry release, for obvious reasons, but after that release and the M::B 0.33 release happen, consider the ShareDir support TODO number one or two and expect a module in about 2-3 weeks after that point. --Curtis -- Curtis Jewell [email protected] %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] -- Curtis Jewell [email protected] %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]
