something like "use blead;"

Thank you for your help. :-)


Yes; bad laziness.  How about Dpchrist::File::Newest?
    http://www.holgerdanske.com/node/460

Why not. It's private anyway.


ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't include all :: manifypods on cygwin,
because this is a unix extension only. See MM_Unix.pm
Please complain at ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
A patch would be trivial. Schwern just needs a kick.
For you: just do
  $ make manifypods

$ makewhatis

2009-05-01 09:04:39 Administrator@p43400e ~/Dpchrist-File-Newest
$ man newest
No manual entry for newest


D'oh! Make created the man pages in the build tree, but didn't install them. What is the best way to do that? cp?

make manifypods install
