Subject: make test deletes Makefile
Distrobution: Net-DNS-0.35 Perl Ver: v5.8.0 built for i686-linux O/S: Red-Hat Linux 2.4.2-2 I fetched Net::DNS with CPAN and attempted to install it. All went fine up through make test. However, when th tests were done the Makefile was deleted. There is a note in your Makefile: # Nick wanted to get rid of .PRECIOUS. I don't remember why. I seem to recall, that # some make implementations will delete the Makefile when we rebuild it. Because # we call false(1) when we rebuild it. So make(1) is not completely wrong when it # does so. Our milage may vary. # .PRECIOUS: Makefile # seems to be not necessary anymore So apparently you are aware of this issue. I just wanted you to know it still happens on some systems.

This note exists in all Makefiles. It has nothing to do with Net::DNS. The problem came from my nasty spec stuff, but Chris fixed it. Again, sorry about that. This issue has already been resolved in http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/C/CR/CREIN/Net-DNS-0.37.tar.gz -- Rob
