While I wouldn't want to rewrite a makefile in perl

How about rewriting make in Perl? :)

I beg to differ. cons is not Make. It's a make-like thing with a different basic philosophy. If you want Make in Perl, you would simply use pmake, which is a pure-Perl version that can understand normal Makefiles, including everything that ExtUtils::MakeMaker puts out. -- Randal L.
