Module::Build should be good back to 5.6.0, and possibly 5.005 if you're careful. I'm using it on all my modules. (I had breakage on 5.005, but it was because I was using things introduced in 5.6 in my Build.PL.) You'd probably be interested in this recent thread on the Module::Build mailing list: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build/2008/02/msg1255.html It discusses EU::MM vs. Module::Build vs. Module::Install. It's worth mentioning that Michael G Schwern is the current MakeMaker maintainer. He recommends Module::Build. -- Chris Madsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------- http://www.cjmweb.net --------------------
