I am not sure yet if I need to install it as site/lib/Config.pm. EUMM
distros works fine with -MVCConfig, I haven't tried Module::Build
distros, so I'm not sure if I will have to resort to site/lib/Config.pm
yet. Also config.h will need a 1 line patch or to be replaced with
site/lib/CORE/config.h since there is 1 setting in it that syntax errors
on VC.
Module::Build tests for and forbids overriding Config (related report
http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=987651 ),
M::B's capacity to make me want to vomit never ceases to amaze.
(Thanks for the info - I don't think I ever realised that. Probably explains
the EU::FC author's electing for the "ExtUtils" namespace.)
so that means VCConfig will have install itself as site/lib/Config.pm and
use an ENV var to control VC vs GCC.
Agreed - if you want to accommodate M::B and it be can't be coerced into
using the alternative config file, then there's no other option short of
getting M::B fixed.
That will also fix the problem of a EUMM makefile, if it regenerates
itself, it looses the VC-ness because the regen run of EUMM Makefile.PL is
missing the -MVCConfig .
IIUC, that last problem would be avoided by setting $ENV{PERL5OPT}
to -MVCConfig ?
Cheers,
