Right now ext/$foo and vms/ext/$bar are at different depths. That should be fine, and if for some reason it isn't, we'll find out pretty quickly and deal with it. VMS::Filespec is more of a special case because it's used during the build and has hand-rolled XS code hard-wired in vms/vms.c, but because of that it also doesn't need to go through xsubpp or other extension- building steps and shouldn't have any need for special treatment in make_ext.pl. ________________________________________ Craig A.
