Subject: Makefile.PL's in subdirs affect each other and their parent
Currently all Makefile.PL's are runinng inside the same package unless declared explicitly by each Makefile.PL. This leads to problems. e.g. you cannor run under 'use warnings FATAL => 'all', because of redefined problems. The whole discussion including possible ways to handle this problem in the MakeMaker domain is here: http://archive.develooper.com/makemaker@perl.org/index.html#00389 Michael suggested that I open this as a wishlist for post 5.8.0
I'm going to call this a feature change. It's been that way too long and MakeMaker's too old to change it now. See about doing it right in Module::Build.
