Nothing was lost, a new call to Win32.pm was added in arch_check(). Max caught it earlier. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46667 I'd like to somehow test for this issue without having to shove MakeMaker into bleadperl and build it on multiple OS'. [1] But it's not clear what subset of MakeMaker's functionality needs to work without XS. I guess enough to build modules (the perl build doesn't actually use install, right?) The basic miniperl functionality can be tested with Test::NoXS (copied into t/lib to avoid a dependency). I guess its supposed to work with no XS at all. [1] This will be resolved once my "test in situ" patch is applied and I can work on MakeMaker directly from inside the perl source. Hint hint! -- Ahh email, my old friend. Do you know that revenge is a dish that is best served cold? And it is very cold on the Internet!
