I've used it to install many other modules. As Lee pointed out, I believe that both problems I encountered are in CGI::Application::Dispatch's Build.PL and Makefile.PL scripts. I understand that it's trying to do some conditional checks and/or makes some assumptions during the install, but when it doesn't work then part of the audience ends up getting inadvertantly locked out. If I wasn't already subscribed to this list, I wouldn't have posted the question and wouldn't have been pointed to the bug entry supplied by Lee. > I do have to say though that it really bothers me to have to make my modules > work for people who don't want to bother with upgrading their toolchain :) Is it unreasonable to believe that CPAN modules should be compatible with the toolchain distributed with recent versions of Perl? I'm on Perl v5.8.8 and ExtUtils::MakeMaker is shipped as v6.30. Module::Build isn't included, so that one I installed myself. But, as Lee pointed out, the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Build::Install isn't the problem here. Thanks for the pointers, Lee. I'm going to give the new CGI::Application::Dispatch that Michael uploaded to CPAN a shot first though.
