There is no equivalent in MakeMaker. Also ExtUtils::CBuilder is not yet reliable on all platforms. Its getting better but I don't trust that it will install everywhere. > And perhaps the skip message could mention the module?

I looked into doing this but it would have required duplicating the "if we can't look for a compiler skip with this message, else if there is no compiler skip with this message" logic in the tests which needed a compiler and I didn't think it was worth it. If you can come up with something which avoids that I'll take it. But I'm not going to hold up 6.26 for it.Thread Previous | Thread Next
