That is the version I was using. I asked on perl-qa and Schwern gave a helpful reply, shown below. I've pushed this thread back to the perl6-compiler list since I assume autrijus and Ingy will be listening there (and not on perl-qa) and cc'ed Schwern.

All I can think of, and this is just a guess, is to somehow hack the new 6.25_12 MakeMaker test_harness()/expand_wildcards() functionality into: ext/Pugs-MakeMaker/libs/Pugs/MakeMaker.pm /-\ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
