see some of stas' modules on cpan - Apache::Peek comes to mind. IIRC they support both mp1 and mp2 and have some kind of dynamic build-time checking code in Makefile.PL as a community we really ought to figure out the "right" way to do this and abstract it into something everyone can just cut-and-paste. or, better, include it as a package in both mp1 and mp2. --Geoff
