in thread Dealing with XS modules on multiple platforms

Thanks for this. I like the idea of running a local CPAN repository to take care of hacks (and versions). I have a feeling I can do this so that the local repository just goes to a real one if it can't find what it's been asked to build. We could potentially then use a Module::Install script to make it easier to allow for a re-build for a new platform.

It still means I'd have to maintain a separate dir of built modules for each platform, but not sure there's an easy way around that.
