in thread how to stop module::build from building html docs

Heh ... not so sure that's a very helpful response

So how do you expect me to help our anonmonk when he doesn't provide some code that reproduce the problem? Which is why I kindly directed him/her to How (Not) To Ask A Question.

I tested it with a fairly simple Build.PL file, and neither ./Build nor ./Build dist generated any HTML. (Tested with the M::B shipped with perl-5.10.0)

Shouldn't it be the other way round, that people who observe undesirable behaviour (and want to get rid of it) tell those who might help how to reproduce it?

Instead of telling me how unhelpful my response was, could you please tell me how to reproduce the OP's problem?

    Aaah ... I had missed the fact that he hadn't actually asked a question beyond what was in the subject line. I actually read his post as "how to stop module::build from building html docs. thanks in advance".

    could you please tell me how to reproduce the OP's problem?

    Whenever he runs './Build.PL' followed by './Build', the Build process terminates with the production of HTML documentation. He wants to turn that feature off ... that's all. I see you've tested it and found that you don't get html docs produced. When I test it, I do get html docs produced (using the M-B that ships with 5.10.0). I would expect it's controllable, or reliant upon some POD documentation being found .... or somesuch. (I don't have the answer to his question.)

    Cheers,
    Rob
