So why not cut out the middleman and just use the Build.PL? Oh I remember, you want something which can be read quickly and without needing an eval(). But - if the Build.PL is there as human-readable source code, then the argument about the generated metadata file being human-readable goes away. The generated file (YAML or whatever) would be read only by machine, a human would surely go straight to the Build.PL. Or have I got this the wrong way round? - -- Ed Avis <epa98@doc.ic.ac.uk> Finger for PGP key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE87KrmIMp73jhGogoRAtAoAJ9Tyfh+wDkRnLUZ+pEI5QUOe7so1wCaAj5I eRZSuJF4mo2QsOigIekh6vA= =zw+d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Thread Previous | Thread Next
