Likewise. ;-)

Thanks, I've applied your patch to the SVN copy of EU::PXS.  There
were a couple of tweaks necessary because:

1) there was some extra blib/ stuff in your patch

2) blead@34160 is relatively old.

A revised patch for blead is attached.  All tests (including your new
ones) pass for me against 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 on OS X 10.5.

On perl 5.8.8 I still get a bunch of unsightly warnings about "passing
argument 4 of 'Perl_newXS' discards qualifiers from pointer target
type", probably relating to the "const char* file = __FILE__;" changes
from a while back.

The only remaining thing I'd love it if you could provide is a nice
terse summary for the 'Changes' file.  If you have such a thing, let
me know.
