Can you please unbundle librabbitmq and use system version? And in fact use some recent version, which is 0.5.2 as of today. Regards Miroslav Suchy

Devel::CheckLib can make it easy to depend on external libraries in your Makefile.PL.

I think there's room for both, a module which has the library bundled, and another (API compatible) module which is using the system library. The former has the advantage that it's easier to install (no separate non-CPAN installation of system libraries) and does not break on system shared library upgrades. See Tk::JPEG (using a bundled libjpeg) vs. Tk::JPEG::Lite (using system libjpeg) for a precedent.
