I do have a couple of minor points. * Is there a better text you can use than It was downloaded from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ to find a CPAN site near you. and a more precise location? Yes, I agree, this isn't a very accurate reference. On the other hand a more precise reference can be found in the package long description, anyway i will consider which you're pointing :) * Your ifndef PERL PERL = $(shell which perl) endif also works as PERL ?= $(shell which perl) Just habits inherited from C and friends, hehe. Have you considered maintaining the package within the debian-perl group? They are very quick at uploading from what I have seen. Sure, this task is in my TODO list (near the head, i promise). If you are not then I would suggest to the DDs on this list that this package is ripe for sponsoring. Nacho has done a very good job, even if he has managed to break linda, the poor girl. *Nacho encourages linda :) Thank you again, James, have a nice day. -- bye, - Nacho -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
