Err, the *only* point of this patch is Windows. The idea was to relieve Windows users from having to hack their tar before they can use EU::MM to bake distros that the CPAN indexer will not reject. If you propose a “better solution” that doesn’t work on Windows then it might be “better” but it fails to be a “solution.” Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
