I received a complaint against my SVN::Notify::Build distro: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27183 that has me annoyed. I provide a compatibility Makefile.PL so that users without Module::Build installed will get bootstrapped into the modern era. For whatever reason, this wouldn't work with the OP's system and caused his smokes to just burn CPU. That's not my problem. My problem is that the OP seems to think I should provide a fully EU::MM compatible Makefile.PL, because installing M::B is too much of a hardship. I can see that the OP has entered another bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27208 where Dave Rolsky responded much as I did. My question to the list is: should I just delete the Makefile.PL completely, or should I break it so that Module::Build won't get installed in unmonitored mode? Or should I just mark it as WONTFIX and change nothing? Please don't spare my feelings if you think I'm being too much of a hardass about this... ;-) John -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748Thread Next
