Not pretending to understand the byzantine code in PAR.pm, two things strike me as odd when looking at the diff from 0.991 to 0.992: - How can modifying find_par_last help in implementing "fallback => 0", i.e. "prefer loading modules from a repository over the locally installed modules", when find_par_last is _appended_ to @INC: if a module is already found using the built-in @INC the find_par_last will not be called at all? - If find_par_last works as intended, why is there no corresponding modification for the code path dealing with bootstrapping DLLs, i.e. XS parts? The modification to find_par_last in 0.992 explicitly deals only with .pm files. The function in PAR.pm that replaces DynaLoader::bootstrap still calls _find_par_any. Cheers, Roderich
