Since every test does: chdir($Is_VMS ? 'BFD_TEST_ROOT:[t]' : 't'); if you'd change the BFD_TEST_ROOT definition in 00setup_dummy.t to already be in t/ then we can squeeze out that last directory. I can't do it since I don't really understand the bfdtesttmp.com code. > And there are the wish-list items of having Install.pm and > Manifest.pm be case blind when retrieving filenames from the file > system but still being able to match those filenames to mixed-case > package names.

They work when you *don't* enable it? That doesn't make sense. -- What is a classy place like this doing around a low-life like you?
