Now, it might be that you need a new MakeMaker to make your CPAN client happy or something but you shouldn't need one to upgrade Module::Build. By the way, if any of the stuff mentioned above breaks, it breaks *everything* for *everybody* so you really shouldn't be afraid to upgrade it all early and often. --Eric -- "But as to modern architecture, let us drop it and let us take modernistic out and shoot it at sunrise." --F.L.
