That's a fair point, but hasn't M::I proved by now that it's assumptions about @INC are reasonable? (I don't feel strongly about this point, btw, just exploring boundaries of the design.) As to how to trigger the bundling, I'd suggest adding a "bundle_inc" parameter. Authors can either set it in Build.PL or just tack it onto the command line: Build dist --bundle_inc -- David
