That's already been fixed by http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/3e21d4f03715f95b91263d6985791a97f088a54e > Also (from a clean build), the call to pod/buildtoc warns that perltoc.pod is missing, when that is the file it is building. > I have added some extra logic to not warn about missing files when those files are the ones being build. Thanks for spotting and proposing a fix for this. However, I'm not sure if it's the most elegant solution. I *think* (but have not verified this) that pod/buildtoc can (and therefore should) be split into two scripts. One is pod/buildtoc, and (just) builds pod/perlpod.pod. The other is all the other functionality. This will work if building everything but perltoc.pod doesn't need any of the results of the "# Find all the mdoules" logic, and work very well if building perltoc.pod doesn't need any part of pod.lst Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
