Grrr. Module::Build 0.2611 doesn't create the _build directory until the call to create_build_script(), but have_c_compiler() needs to have the _build directory in order to create the file to test the compiler. Arggh... Temporary fix: $ cd version-0.54 $ mkdir _build $ perl Build.PL or apply the attached patch. version-0.55 coming to CPAN real soon now anyways, because I forgot to provide an overridden UNIVERSAL::VERSION for the pure Perl module (now complete except for additional testing).

We're seeing this on thousands of servers. Key modules that use version fail to install or update :( So the temporary fix won;t work to well, maybe the patch, will look info it. Show quoted text

Can you release a 0.55 with the fix necessary to make it work and do the rest of the UNIVERSAL pure perl thing in 0.56? That'd help out very much :) Is applying tha patch all thats necessary? If so I'll apply it and rebundle it up as 0.55 if you want. Let me know, thanks!

Uploading to CPAN just this fix as 0.55. The UNIVERSAL::VERSION stuff will have to wait... Sorry for the grief. John
