MakeMaker, yes, but I'll wait until things settle down a bit and its been knocked around some on CPAN. The fact that I've gotten a grand total of one bug report about the busted PL_FILES despite there being some 100+ distributions that use it tells me that 6.26 isn't being used much yet. As for CBuilder? Dunno. Not as part of MakeMaker, but maybe when Module::Build goes in. > Would a warning about a missing prereq for the separate CPAN dist of > MakeMaker be helpful? I might hack up something in the Makefile.PL that mentions it, but for the moment since its not actually testing anything I'm not worrying about it. The xs.t test is really to see how badly ExtUtils::CBuilder vomits in practice. > > Now that's unexpected.
