I just discovered that from perl -V alone we find the facts about default_inc_excludes_dot only via config_arg*. Can we have it as a first class config citizen? Current state of -V: % /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/host/k93x64xenial/v5.25.10/b4eb/bin/perl -V|grep -i default_inc config_args='-Dprefix=/home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/host/k93x64xenial/v5.25.10/b4eb -Dmyhostname=k93x64xenial -Dinstallusrbinperl=n -Uversiononly -Dusedevel -des -Ui_db -Dlibswanted=cl pthread socket inet nsl gdbm dbm malloc dl ld sun m crypt sec util c cposix posix ucb BSD gdbm_compat -Duseithreads -Duselongdouble -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot' Same perl with -V:'.*': % /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/host/k93x64xenial/v5.25.10/b4eb/bin/perl -V:'.*'|grep -i default_inc config_arg11='-Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot'; config_args='-Dprefix=/home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/host/k93x64xenial/v5.25.10/b4eb -Dmyhostname=k93x64xenial -Dinstallusrbinperl=n -Uversiononly -Dusedevel -des -Ui_db -Dlibswanted=cl pthread socket inet nsl gdbm dbm malloc dl ld sun m crypt sec util c cposix posix ucb BSD gdbm_compat -Duseithreads -Duselongdouble -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot'; default_inc_excludes_dot='define'; I'd like to have -V produce a C<default_inc_excludes_dot=(define|undef)>, just like we have it for d_sigaction of uselongdouble. It would standout better. What do you think? -- andreasThread Next
