BINGO!

++liz! That was exactly what I was looking for!

Surely I noticed that feature when I read the docs of ExtUtils::MakeMaker months ago, but I completely forgot where I learnt about it; just remembered that something somewhere worked that way.

Thanks a lot!

Ciao!

The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).
