Is this what you are looking for? 

$make_options{MAN1PODS} = {};
$make_options{MAN3PODS} = {};

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile(%make_options);

    Hmmm, that's a hint anyway. Any way to set that from outside Makefile.PL? I'd rather not get into trying to automatically modify other people's Perl code if I can help it. Some module's Makefile.PL's are pretty complicated (see Imager for a fine example).

    Thanks,

      This appears to work (assuming a bash shell): 

      perl Makefile.PL  MAN1PODS=\{\} MAN3PODS=\{\}

        That works great, and as I thought the build process has been sped up nicely.

        Thanks!
