My Perl modules in beta-stage

Latest work on ExtUtils::LibSeeker::Ask_gmake

  2. ExtUtils-LibSeeker-Ask_gmake-0.01.tar.gz
A build/install-time support module for Perl5 development when that development involves creating bindings from Perl to external C/C++ libraries provided outside of the Perl installation hierarchy.

Other development-related projects

These software projects are not my creations;
here they are, though, to record work I am doing on improving them.

xloadimage (a venerable but still useful X11 utility)
current tarball is labelled "xloadimage-src-somian-4.1_01.tgz". This source kit contains patches made by Debian maintainers for the Debian releases of this software (the apt .deb format packaging). I've retro-engineered the package to use the patched source but to build+install manually for use from /usr/local/bin for example, instead of creating a .deb archive for management by APT/dpkg. A few nits have been picked and tweaking done to suit me. Other techies may not find my approaches welcome, but there are some strange and even wicked makefile hacks going on that the curious might be entertained by.

Feedback on this is most welcomed.
