Subject: Win32 problem
Windows doesn't like dot files. So, to be compatible with windows, we have to deal with this and replace .releaserc with releaserc. Line 50 in Module::Release: conf => $^O eq 'MSWin32' ? 'releaserc' : '.releaserc', Thanks, Fabien

I don't know what you mean "doesn't like dot files." I created a .foo file just now. xoxo, Andy -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance

Yes, you can create a dot file within a program (a perl one for example) but under Windows XP, the explorer tells you have to give a name to your file. So, I tought it would be easier for Windows users to just create a releaserc file without the dot. Fabien

I have to update Module::Release soon, and I will take a look at this. What are some other options for Windows? Is there a way that I can read a reg key or environment variable to figure out the preferred name of the file?
