I see the exact opposite of you when clicking those links. uwinipeg require a view source, bribes doesn't. The "problem" with the uwinnipeg would just be the absence of a 5.10 implementation then.

As for why the bribes works for you and not me? I really have no idea. As I showed, the architectural strings match, so what else could it be? PPM internals have gotten more and more complex and harder to follow. It's simply quicker and easier to build stuff manually.

But that fails when you try things like Devel::Cover. Sure, when 5.12 comes out in what, say 3 years from now?, p5p may have "adopted" it and exported those symbols on a "no warranties" basis, just as they have Devel::Alias. But then there will be another package that won't build for similar reasons and we'll have to wait another 3 years...?

    There's a perfectly valid (afaik) uwinnipeg 5.10 implementation here
