Hi Guy! I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but I found your message hard to follow. You often broken my paragraphs or even my sentences in half, lost a lot of yours and mine's original context, etc. But I'll try to do the best I can.

No time for more mailing lists. You posted here. > That's because that's where I wanted to discuss specifying parameters to M::B in a format capable-of-machine-processing, instead of in pure Perl code. This mailing list is also the appropriate one, because we discuss Module Authoring here and I'm not aware of a more specialised mailing list for Module-Build (or at least Google could not find it.) > > I don't see anything of relevance in these links, at least not as text > > that I > > The relevence was in Jonathan's original post ...

After I replied while quoting the message it broke the link in two because it was too long. I could access it, but didn't understand what it was all about. > > > copy-and-paste the relevant parts to your message. > > I can't see any point in that. In that case, lacking good links or a definitive reference text, I'll have to ignore your comment earlier. I hope it's not much of a flamewar so far, but it sure seems to have escalated into a minor one. "You are a Nazi!"[1] - oops!
