So what's so special about your packages that you *need* a hack as ugly as eblits? We killed them with fire in dev-lang/perl and are *very* happy with the result. * the code size decreased a lot * it's actually readable now * and stable things stay stable for sure... After looking through the dev-lang/perl code (which was mostly identical to what is used in autoconf/...) +1 +1 +1 for banning eblits globally. "I like them" is not an argument. -- Andreas K.
