In this particular case, the easiest thing would be to make ExtUtils::CBuilder not use IO. Like M::B, it uses it because it was the easiest way to use lexical filehandles before 5.6. Since we're not supporting 5.005 anymore, we can just rip it out and be done with that issue. LeonThread Previous | Thread Next
