I'm pretty sure, if doing exactly the same thing in configure.com that's done in Configure is a solution (or at least consistently bonkers), we have solved it as of: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/d1ce36d and http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/63d5291 On VMS we were not populating nonxs_ext at all, and we were treating dynamic_ext and extensions as the same thing and including everything in them. I think that was just a side effect of the organic growth you referred to plus my inattention during certain parts of it. Part of the evolution probably has to do with nomenclature. I'm quite sure I've been told at some point in the distant past that it's not proper to call a module an "extension" unless it has XS code in it. If that was ever a valid or consistent convention, the current mass migration from lib/ to ext/ buries it pretty deep. Using the extensions.pl Nicholas posted elsewhere in this thread, I now see: $ perl extensions.pl extensions static dynamic nonxs known Archive/Extract nonxs Archive/Tar nonxs Attribute/Handlers nonxs B dynamic known B/Debug nonxs B/Deparse nonxs B/Lint nonxs CGI nonxs CPANPLUS nonxs CPANPLUS/Dist/Build nonxs Compress/Raw/Bzip2 dynamic known Compress/Raw/Zlib dynamic known Cwd dynamic known Data/Dumper dynamic known Devel/DProf dynamic known Devel/PPPort dynamic known Devel/Peek dynamic known Devel/SelfStubber nonxs Digest nonxs Digest/MD5 dynamic known Digest/SHA dynamic known Encode dynamic known Errno nonxs Fcntl dynamic known File/Fetch nonxs File/Glob dynamic known FileCache nonxs Filter/Simple nonxs Filter/Util/Call dynamic known Hash/Util dynamic known Hash/Util/FieldHash dynamic known I18N/LangTags nonxs I18N/Langinfo dynamic known IO dynamic known IO/Compress nonxs IO/Zlib nonxs IPC/Cmd nonxs IPC/Open2 nonxs IPC/Open3 nonxs List/Util dynamic known Log/Message nonxs Log/Message/Simple nonxs MIME/Base64 dynamic known Math/BigInt/FastCalc dynamic known Module/CoreList nonxs Module/Load nonxs Module/Load/Conditional nonxs Module/Loaded nonxs Module/Pluggable nonxs Net/Ping nonxs Object/Accessor nonxs Opcode dynamic known POSIX dynamic known Package/Constants nonxs Params/Check nonxs Parse/CPAN/Meta nonxs PerlIO/encoding dynamic known PerlIO/scalar dynamic known PerlIO/via dynamic known Pod/Plainer nonxs SDBM_File dynamic known Safe nonxs SelfLoader nonxs Shell nonxs Socket dynamic known Storable dynamic known Switch nonxs Sys/Hostname dynamic known Term/ANSIColor nonxs Term/Cap nonxs Term/UI nonxs Test/Harness nonxs Text/Balanced nonxs Text/Soundex dynamic known Thread/Queue nonxs Thread/Semaphore nonxs Tie/File nonxs Tie/Memoize nonxs Time/HiRes dynamic known Time/Piece dynamic known Unicode/Normalize dynamic known VMS/DCLsym dynamic known VMS/Stdio dynamic known XS/APItest dynamic known XS/Typemap dynamic known attributes dynamic known autodie nonxs autouse nonxs base nonxs mro dynamic known re dynamic known threads dynamic known threads/shared dynamic known ________________________________________ Craig A.
