No, you are not as I explained this to you once already.

Unless you create something that software authors start
actively using themselves, i.e. it gets incorporated to the
packages (as it happened with autoconf, for instance), you
have only two options:
- fail
- fail some time later

The idea of maintaining all the build information for all
packages in some centralized perl file just does not scale.

So, yes, you wrote a tool that can help some people in some
situations.  Good work.  But have not solved any of the
underlying problems -- in fact you are not even attempting.
