Just FYI: I wasn't planning to actually need to know if Socket was being built in-core or externally (via CPAN/etc...); so I don't think I'll need this feature. It works mostly by %Config keys, falling back on EU::CC to probe for tests that don't exist in %Config. This should be the empty set when being built in core. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
