But your example suggests to me that *mini*perl should ignore all of :these, as they aren't* used by the build process, and that the invocations for :./perl should explicitly clear them all. : :(Which isn't too hard actually, as ./perl is, or should be, invoked :consistently throughout the Makefile with a macro that sets up :"LD_LIBRARY_PATH" etc) : :If this idea seems sane, an no-one else beats me to it, I'll try to do it in :the next couple of months. I think by "should ignore all of these" you're saying "ignore anything in PERL5OPT" (or possibly "PERL5OPT and friends"). If so, please consider whether it is worth providing a mechanism to specify the value to use for PERL5OPT (resp. "... and friends") for the miniperl build as a get-out clause. I do not have a use for this myself, so I do not request it; but I imagine, should it be of use, it would be easier to make that change now than to try and restore the facility in a user-controllable form later.
