PDA::Pilot is really a completely separate package that just happens to live in a subdir two levels deep inside the pilot-link tree, and requires that the pilot-link configure be run before its own. IOW, it's pretty gross. E.g., one thing that seems to stand out is that most other master-slave port pairs are differentiated by prefix/suffix, rather than being named something completely different. Do you want to take maintainership of p5-PDA-Pilot, too, since the two are incestuously related? I'll happily let you have it if you want? I'd be surprised if it ever needs any changes, except for pilot-link .soname updates, unless the pilot-link tree gets rearranged. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
