Yes I'm sure, it's in the ExtUtils directory. You can actually browse my MSYS installation online at our CI server at: http://mingwgitdevenv.cloudapp.net/job/mingwGitDevEnv-test/ws/mingwGitDevEnv/lib/perl5/5.8/ExtUtils/ And yes, the Perl I'm using is the officially bundled Perl. > Also, AFAIK, if a method isn't implemented in MM_Win32.pm, it falls back to > MM_Unix.pm.

I'm really not good at Perl at all, so maybe that's something you could check in the source code of http://mingwgitdevenv.cloudapp.net/job/mingwGitDevEnv-test/ws/mingwGitDevEnv/lib/perl5/5.8/ExtUtils/MM_Win32.pm/*view*/ Anyway, the fact that the method is not found indicates that there's no fallback to MM_Unix.pm. -- Sebastian Schuberth
