Just uploaded a new MakeMaker snapshot (see www.makemaker.org). This fixes the gross problems on VMS, due to an off-by-one error in split_command() the commands generated for pm_to_blib were too long. So now at least you can get to mmk test. I wanted to shove something out for the VMS folks to play with.
A number of tests are failing. t/basic.t 44 1024 48 20 41.67% 27-45 48 t/inst_prefix.t 44 1024 38 16 42.11% 21-36 t/install.t 44 1024 17 6 35.29% 9 13-17 t/liblist.t 44 1024 5 1 20.00% 5 t/split_command.t 44 1024 6 2 33.33% 4 6 basic.t appears to be due to a mistake in ExtUtils::Install about file path name normalization inst_prefix.t seems to failing because of the restored old behavior of leaving prefix macros in the installation macros. Something VMS can't do. I think I just need a skip there. install.t is the ExtUtils::Install file normalization problems which need investigation. liblist.t looks like its just because the VMS version (ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid::_vms_ext) isn't mirroring the diagnostics of the Unix version. split_command.t I haven't investigated yet. It may be a shell escaping problem. -- I have this god-awful need to aquire useless crap!!!
