Smokers generally want to install as little non-core stuff as possible so we do want this in core. Plus, I'd rather have *one* API than two. This really isn't any different than other dual-life modules than have various fallbacks for older perls. I haven't yet been shown that the new perl-space stuff can provide what Config::Perl::V does as nicely as it does. Ultimately, I defer to Tux on this. We originally asked "Tux, how can you tell XXX about a perl's configuration?" and he said "You can't, but I'll write a module to do it for you". Whatever he says is the right way to do it is fine with me. -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
