In hindsight hardly surprising.
I used perlbrew to switch to a different perl, and now I can get it to build. One side issue of the perlbrew version was that I had (for no good reason) put the files I wanted to compile in the Porting directory of a perl.git checkout. This then confused makemaker. When I moved the scripts out of a perl build tree it started behaving properly. IMO that issue can be left at "so dont do that". :-) The original issue however might be handled more gracefully. A message from Inline saying "it looks like your perl install is b0rked" would have be useful. Anyway, thanks for your help! cheers, Yves
