  You said you were looking for feedback. Here it is: THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP. Looking forward to being able to do more of this on the Mac and I really appreciate your efforts. No second guessing here....

  Whoops. Asked for your middlewares too soon. I mean late. I mean I see the ones discussed are on the CPAN already. What I get for jumping in a thread this late. Thanks!...
• Commented on Some nifty things you can do with Catalyst on Plack
  "the only reason to do it this way" - I think there might be another good reason. Take this example- /js/efa92b/file.js v /js/file.js?efa92b The first is ephemeral. The second is likely to continue to resolve to something sensible. End users...

  "...we just didn't realize it." What's this "we?" I've been saying this for 3 years. :) Also, KUDOS! Lacuna Expanse and related code looks amazing. You probably just put yourself among the Perl renaissance makers....

  This sounds fantastic. I have dabbled with Alien:: modules in the past for wxWidgets and SDL, and wondered whether it wouldn’t be a good idea to abstract out all all that cross-platform dependency stuff and make it easy. You’re a hero!

  --prefix is obsolete. Look instead at --install_base and --install_path arch.

• Joel Berger commented on Design considerations for Alien::Base

  @dolmen, as far as I am aware the standard ./configure scripts all take --prefix= still. If this isn’t true, which version of autoconf changes this? Perhaps you are thinking of the arguments to ./Build but that isn’t what I’m talking about here; I’m talking about the ./configure script for the external library. Still you bring up an interesting point, I have to be sure I support those path arguments to the ./Build script.

  @Ashley, thanks, its good to hear that people are behind the project, even in the hard times!

  The easiest solution I can see is to just have make/Build install recompile the library again before installing them on Mac.

  That way make/Build compiles it to temp dir, and make/Build test tests it in that test dir. While make/Build install on Mac could bypass the problem by simply recompiling the library again this time with the final path in the library and then install it in its final installed location.
