Right. That is a MakeMaker bug in Perl 5.6.1. You are advised to either
- Upgrade your ExtUtils::MakeMaker using:
ppm install ExtUtils::MakeMaker
or manually download it from:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/
and see if it works better.
- Upgrade to ActivePerl 800 series (i.e. 5.8.x).
- Manually fix it as Sisyphus recommeded.
I will be very happy if you can help adding this problem to the FAQ:
http://par.perl.org/?FAQ
in the language you feel that will aid other people who've run into
similar problems...
Thanks,
