That's a strange one - haven't seen that type of warning before. And I've 
certainly never heard of 'lib' being an archname. (It looks to be only a 
warning. Is there some *error* message that indicates the reason that the 
Makefile is not being generated ?)

If that warning appears whenever you run 'perl makefile.pl', then I would 
guess that it's the loading of ExtUtils::MakeMaker that generates it. If 
that's the case, then you should be able to generate the warning with:

perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e "print $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION"

I assume that the following (correctly) outputs 
"archname='MSWin32-x86-multi-thread';":

perl -V:archname

Something has been screwed up - and a complete removal of perl, followed by 
a fresh installation, would be the first thing I would try. If that's not a 
suitable approach for you, then start off by showing us the output of 
'perl -V'. Also we need to work out where the warning comes from (if it's 
not from EU::MM), and what is being looked at that makes perl think the 
archname is 'lib'.

I really don't know precisely what has gone wrong. (Jan might know - but 
there's no guarantee that he's currently perusing this list.)

Cheers,
Rob
