OK ....I have to admit that I have no clue how "PDK compilations" look like...

IMHO processing the perlsources before piping them into another make/compilation process should be safe!

HTH!

      Have a look at PPI::Document, too: 

      #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

# Straight from the documention

use PPI;
  
# Load a document from a file
my $Document = PPI::Document->new('My/Module.pm');
  
# Strip out comments
$Document->prune('PPI::Token::Comment');

# Strip out Pod
$Document->prune('PPI::Token::Pod');

# Save the file
$Document->save('My/Module.pm.stripped');

        Following your tip, I installed PPI::Document via PPM to see if it would improve on the stripping relative to perltidy. However, this critical step did not work:

        $Document = PPI::Document->new('Module.pm');

        I guess there is some PPI::Document package I need to get. I'll continue this later.

        Thanks.
