I noticed this in the Makefile. nonxs_ext = ext/Attribute/Handlers/pm_to_blib ext/Compress/Zlib/pm_to_blib ext/Errno/pm_to_blib ext/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/pm_to_blib ext/IO_Compress_Base/pm_to_blib ext/IO_Compress_Zlib/pm_to_blib ext/Module/Pluggable/pm_to_blib ext/Safe/pm_to_blib ext/Test/Harness/pm_to_blib Should that be: nonxs_ext = ext/Attribute-Handlers/pm_to_blib ext/Compress-Zlib/pm_to_blib ext/Errno/pm_to_blib ext/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pm_to_blib ext/IO_Compress_Base/pm_to_blib ext/IO_Compress_Zlib/pm_to_blib ext/Module-Pluggable/pm_to_blib ext/Safe/pm_to_blib ext/Test-Harness/pm_to_blib This might explain the excessive rebuilding I've been noticing. This appears to be coming from this in config.sh nonxs_ext='Attribute/Handlers Compress/Zlib Errno ExtUtils/MakeMaker IO_Compress_Base IO_Compress_Zlib Module/Pluggable Safe Test/Harness' Which appears to be a consequence of this in the "find_extensions" code in Configure: this_ext=`echo $xxx | $sed -e s/-/\\\//g`; at which point I'll leave it to someone else to work out what to do. -- I'm pale as Formica, social skills stunted small.
