Hello, I noted this thread too late, and I have no time to read it all. So, just a pair of comments: - suggesting new people to use tools other than M::B, sure (not sure of a better one yet) - forcing people who are happy and using M::B in their distributions to change, please no. I fought for years with EU::MM to build some XS based libraries, and M::B just made that possible with low effort. It might be evil (as EU::MM), but it is making people happy. Sorry if this is off-topic :) Alberto On 24/05/13 14:35, Reini Urban wrote: > David, > Keeping CPAN happy with 5.6.2 and 5.8.9 is not so hard. > > I keep a distroprefs for some rarely needed patches, but in fact > almost everything works on 5.6.2 and 5.8.9.
