Re: Varying module build options

Alot can be accomplished by testing the system configuration while the Makefile.PL is running. You can check their versions there. Also, the 'use Config' module tells you quite a a bit about the installtion. The fields PERL_REVISION, PERL_VERSION, PERL_SUBVERSION will give you a precise version of perl. $ENV{LANG} might give you a hint as to whether it's a non-English locale.

Look at the Makefile.PL for PerlTk. There are quite a few things going on in there that are NOT documented in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.	[reply]
