That would be fine.
Fine then. The fact that ExtUtils make dist automatically produces a
.tar.gz and the fact that Archive::Tar does not do the right thing is
not exactly my fault however.
You know - you've kind of tickled a raw nerve here.
As did David in his original post for me.
One of the very few reasons I maintain a Windows box here and endure
the pain (for me - subjective I know) that goes with it is so I can
test my modules against Win32. And the only reason I bang my head off
Win32 related problems is because I have a deeply held conviction
that my stuff should - if possible - work on any platform Perl supports.
Yes i agree with this as well. I go to similar lengths to ensure my
code works on *nix. And yes i appreciate your efforts, although to the
best of my knowledge ive never directly benefitted from them.
I honestly don't think - given the hassle that supporting Win32 is
for so many people who otherwise wouldn't touch it - that you have
much room to bitch about a Unix specific problem.
I was out of line in how i put things. I apologise.
