What's this "when"?
make.pl v. ~0.6  committed. It uses a fairly simple line-based parser,
not P::RD. I didn't want to require non-core modules, but we can
certainly take this and morph it into something more perl-like. As a
matter of fact, I would prefer to do this, but doing that would break
GNU make compatibility. Given the HoHoHoHo... data structure I use to
hold dependencies it would be fairly straightforward to map onto
something using P::RD.
