Subject: make clean deletes "perl" subdirectory
The "clean" target in a MakeMaker-generated Makefile deletes the files perl and perl$(EXE_EXT). This is fatal if there's a legal "perl" subdirectory in the distribution. Suggestion: skip those two files from the "clean" target if a perl subdirectory exists. This might be determined either while creating Makefile.PL or in the clean target itself. I'll provide a patch if the issue will be accepted. Regards, Slaven
