Re: [Module::Build] Array form of do_system causing problems

[Chris D. <ch...@cl...>]

I'm pretty sure that the alias won't work, since system() doesn't go 
through the shell.  However, a simple script should be a good enough 
workaround for me, so I'll use that for now.  But, we should keep a 
mental note to revisit this.  Others like me coming from the Makefile 
world will expect this to work.
