likely to get fixed quickly than it is if I roll some ad-hoc code of
my own. It's also more likely to get detected before it impacts
directly on my module.
It is possible, however, that I might break D::CL for some platforms
while adding support for VMS - and I can't test it myself on Windows.
The compiler detection bit is very stable, but if D::CL breaks in some
other place it still might fail for you.
S'OK - I'm bundling a version that works for me and if I decide to
upgrade the bundle D::CL I'll test it again :)
Perhaps someone should break it out into a Devel::CheckOS plugin like
Devel::CheckOS::OSFeatures::CcompilerAvailable. Whoever decides to do
that, prod me off-list if you need any help.
That sounds sensible. Unfortunately my tuit bank is a bit low at the
moment otherwise I'd give it a shot.
