Nothing to do but try again!
The thing is that there's no Makefile in the dist, it's just Makefile.PL
that's build in the usual way. Someone else suggested the possibly I
accidentally distributed Makefile in the zip, but it's definitely not there
and not in the MANIFEST.
Very weird. I guess I'll see if I can find some other machines to try the
install on and see if I can find a failure.
I tested Games-Poker-HistoryParser on a local Win32 machine
and it built and tested fine. The failure reported by
ActiveState is probably an anomaly, especially since this
error about the out-of-date Makefile was found just on
Win32, and not on the other platforms tested.
One possibility that can lead to this error is that
the Makefile.PL had an access/modification time in
the future, compared to when the Makefile was generated.
This can happen if the local system time is off, compared
to the timestamp of the files in the CPAN distribution.
