But, perl was a bad example. If you're just trying to develop a new
"perl module", something that other perl scripts can use, to require you
to provide a completely private copy of complete perl, instead of the
perfectly identical (other than paths) version the system provides is a
bit much...
I'm not arguing that the PGXS gripes Ivan has are valid, but your perl
example probably *supports* his case more than you think...
