A longstanding problem has been reported on this list but never solved or commented on. One person wrote: When attempting to install CPAN modules using Cygwin's make, I get "missing separator" errors. It always happens in the pm_to_blib section, which I've copied below. I've flagged the line in particular that generates the error. Any help? Is there a secret fix? Has ActiveState noticed? For earlier references, see http://mailarchive.activestate.com/mail/msg/activeperl:429214 (December 2000) http://mailarchive.activestate.com/mail/msg/activeperl:276647 (August 2000) http://mailarchive.activestate.com/mail/msg/perl-win32-users:278546 (July 2000) http://mailarchive.activestate.com/mail/msg/perl-win32-users:267155 (December 1999) http://mailarchive.activestate.com/mail/msg/perl-win32-users:205205 (February 1999) and others... Here's the problem: # --- MakeMaker pm_to_blib section: pm_to_blib: $(TO_INST_PM) @$(PERL) "-I$(INST_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(INST_LIB)" "-I$(PERL_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(PERL_LIB)" -MExtUtils::Install -e "pm_to_blib(qw[ <<pmfiles.dat ],'$(INST_LIB)\auto')" $(PM_TO_BLIB) << @$(TOUCH) $@ [ when I run it, the line above ${PM_TO_BLIB} is empty except for a tab, which is invalid syntax for a make file. This is evidently a bug. Removing the lines doesn't solve it for me. Running the script results in other errors. ] _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
