Its been like that for quite a while. Since Febuary 6th, 2002.
Prior to that, it was this:
FIXIN = $(PERLRUN) -e "system qq{pl2bat.bat ].shift"
which is the same thing, only unnecessarily complicated.
Yes, this means we're pulling pl2bat out of the user's PATH even when
installing a brand new Perl which is Bad, but we've been living with that
for a while.
No, I won't accept a patch to dig around to find the proper copy of
pl2bat to run. That's a step backwards.
I will accept a patch which turns its guts into a module and leaves pl2bat as a
thin wrapper. Then we call a function in the module rather than search around
for a program. Whether it be a Win32:: module or part of
ExtUtils::Command::MM doesn't really matter.
$(PERLRUN) -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e pl2bat
As a side benefit, it will unify the win32 and wince versions whcih are
almost exact duplicates.
