I don't think we would need to filter the output. This would just be for a build dependency file. I don't see a problem with rerunning genbki.pl et al after somebody updates File::Compare?

You can only get at %INC by loading the module, which in many cases will have side effects. And then you would also need to filter out things loaded that are not our artefacts (e.g. Catalog.pm loads File::Compare). cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB:https://www.enterprisedb.com

I would need to familiarize myself with perl, but since you've written probably all or almost all that needs to be written, I can probably scrape by :).

I know nothing about meson > variable scoping. Not a problem. In Meson, variables are globally-scoped. You can use unset_variable() however to unset it. In our case, we should add the ^line to src/backend/catalog/meson.build. I would say just throw the line after the copyright comment.
