Thanks for trying this out so soon. It's been developed on FC3, but I can't
imagine adding RH8 support will be too hard but it's currently not built-in.
Smolder tries to recognize what platform it's being built on when you run
smolder_build. What platform did it try and build for? Did you need to add a
platform/RH8/Platform.pm

That's strange. smolder_build is supposed to add this directory to @INC. What do
you get when you dumpe @INC in the Makefile.PL?

Thanks for catching this. I've uploaded 0.02 to sourceforge. Could you give that
a try?
