I should have made it a bit more clear that the say-* thing was merely a personal preference "I would be writing it that way if I were doing it", not a "You should write it this way when working on this project". I think .PHONY is still a good idea to have, even for only its documentation value (it is unlikely that anybody would create a file "perllibdir"). Let me queue this on top of the v2 queued in 'next' as an incremental update. Thanks. -- >8 -- From: Christian Hesse <mail@xxxxxxxx> SUbject: Makefile: mark perllibdir as a .PHONY target This target should be marked as .PHONY, just like other targets that exist only for their side effects that do not create filesystem entities with the same name.
