Unless 'dynamic_config' exists and is 0, in which case the prereqs listed in META.yml are definitely DEFINITIVE. http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-current.html#dynamic_config --Eric -- So malloc calls a timeout and starts rummaging around the free chain, sorting things out, and merging adjacent small free blocks into larger blocks. This takes 3 1/2 days. --Joel Spolsky --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
