This didn't quite apply against what's in blead, so I pulled the latest from CVS on Sourceforge. It falls down pretty hard like so: $ perl Makefile.PL # running Build.PL List form of piped open not implemented at lib/Module/Build/Base.pm line 347. I can't remember why this isn't implemented, and even if we find a way to fix that, you couldn't depend on it now. The various Test::* modules have pretty robust cross-platform ways of running Perl commands, so perhaps you can borrow what they're doing. -- ____________________________________________ Craig A.
