On this tangent, whenever I do "make dist" to build a Perl module, it
creates ._ files and sticks them in the tar archive. (This is on an HFS+
disk.) They're not there before the tar because I delete them all prior to
the tar step.
On another, seemingly identical machine (same version of everything, same
Perl source synced form SVN) it *doesn't* do this when I "make dist." And
it's not tar itself that's doing it because if I use gnutar the same thing
happens on the one machine (but again, not on the other). Mysterious.
Anyway, I'm glad you guys are trying to make it work. Someone should :)

Wimps!
