I get this warning from "perl Makefile.PL":
WARNING: constants is not a known parameter.
and sure enough, perldoc MakeMaker does not know of it.
If you have knowledge of its exact semantics, the maintainer
of ExtUtils::MakeMaker would sure like to know about this :-)
(so that it can be documented, and the above sanity check made saner)
This warning is new, coming from ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.03 (which is
available separately from CPAN, without having to install 5.8.0-to-be)
The warnings David Dyck is getting from RC1 are of the same origin,
MakeMaker 6.01 (or 6.00, can't remember off-hand which version RC1
had).
I also get:
Warning: the following files are missing from your kit:
REAMDE
perl-Net-Ping.spec
Please inform the author.
> make
Other than the above warnings, "make test" works fine in the said
5.8.0 post-RC1 (in Tru64).

> My original request to Mr Dyck has been attached below
