That is/was the plan and all of that code is already done. You can ship a bundled M::B (and anything else even) *11 months ago* without any more code being written. See contrib/bundle.pl for some help. https://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/trunk/contrib/bundle.pl What is missing is: 1) some interface to 1-step-setup the bundle, 2) detection/updating the bundled version before release, 3) testing --Eric -- "I've often gotten the feeling that the only people who have learned from computer assisted instruction are the authors." --Ben Schneiderman --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
