Personally I think its worth being a touch more specific with your language. I dont see Module::Build's job to be to "install". I see its job as being to "build". It should, and does leave the job of "installing" to ExtUtils::Install. And that makes sense to me. So it seems to be that you have four (five?) phases: Pre-Build Build Test Install (Post Install Test?) Something like dieing on a use warnings statement in the makefile or whatever to me constitutes a pre-build failure, not an install failure. <aside> I've actually often wondered why there isnt a fifth stage, that being a post-install test. IOW, it would be nice if you there was an easy way to run the test suite against the installed packages. </aside> Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
