Subject: problem with the realclean target
I have upgraded to ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.21 and I see the following behaviour: - in my Makefile.PL I have the following statement 'realclean' => {FILES => 'Makefile.bak pod/v2/*.html lib'} where 'lib' is a directory. - With the old version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker(5.45) all files and also the directory 'lib' got deleted. - With the new version (6.21) only the files were deleted but not the directory. If this is the new feature, how can one delete directories with the 'realclean' attribute ? Thank you for help in advance, Norbert

Its a mistake introduced between 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 (change 7952). Will be fixed in 6.22.
