Class::Methodmaker build failure and installed size

Hi,

there's two things I wonder about:

2.04 doesn't build for me, 2.02 did previously.  I'm not sure you should
use the INSTALL* settings for finding include paths for building  (build
log below).  Also, I guess those uses of uninitialized variables
shouldn't be :)

Can you fix that upstream or should I just add some hacks to debian's
diff to make it build? (I haven't found the time to try yet)


A user complained about the size of Methodmaker 2.02 on disk.  Apparently
an installed Class::Methodmake requires some 20 megs of diskspace - at
least that's what the package uses that I build.  It seems there are a
lot of almost identical files in /usr/share/perl5/auto/Class/MethodMaker/*
that were created by AutoSplit.  It compresses surprisingly well to some
360k alltogether but still needs a lot on disk.  Is there any chance
this could be fixed, or is it my fault?
