There is an open bug about this against Perl and an argument about whether it's a Perl bug or a policy bug (since policy wants something else). It's not possible to fix this before the conversion; the offending assumption is hard-coded deep inside ExtUtils::MakeMaker and would need a patch to Perl to fix properly. I'd appreciate any recommendations on dealing with this myself, as I'm running into this in several packages I'm working on. For the time being, I've just been ignoring it, but I'm not sure if that's correct. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
