I think the name of this module is confusing as best. It doesn't have anything to do with compilation -- and the pattern you describe doesn't apply to compilers I'm familiar with (e.g. gcc). This library may be useful, but it needs a better name and short description to help people understand its use. I think there was a suggestion to integrate this code with fileinput, which seems to make sense. fileinput seems to describe what this module does -- deal with files as input. Jeremy
