Greetings,
I should point out that in order to get perl@15489 to build I had
to patch ext/Encode/Encode.xs but I have reason to believe
that the correct fix will be put in soon - hopefully before release
of 5.8.0.
I did run "mms install" with the kit then tried running the
set up for the ExtUtils-MakeMaker-5.52_01 which did not
look good, no doubt owing to the trouble
with the MakeMaker that ships with perl@15489.
The build looked like the following (sic):
$ perl makefile.pl

The last error message is a VMS make utility fatal error,
which points up the fact that the hack to force the "all" target via:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2002-03/msg01168.html
did not actually solve the target ordering bug - it merely enshrined it
in code. As it stands the perl@15489 kit will have to document
for VMS perl administrators that they must now build modules via:
perl Makefile.PL
mms all
mms test
mms install
Since the "all" target is now required so as to avoid the fatal MMS error.
Here is what "mms test" looked like with the 5.52_01 kit:

around and
ask it to build a Makefile I see:

In other words, similar output to the above.
In summary: the bug of not putting all at the top of the appropriate target
ordering
is still there and not addressed by the makemakerdflt pseudo target. If
that bug cannot
be fixed then perl should have at least the following patch applied so as
to
give perl administrators a fighting chance:
$ gdiff -u pod/perlmodinstall.pod;-1 pod/perlmodinstall.pod
--- pod/perlmodinstall.pod;-1 Mon Mar 25 16:48:13 2002
+++ pod/perlmodinstall.pod Tue Mar 26 10:02:52 2002
@@ -328,7 +328,7 @@
Now you're ready to build:
- mms
+ mms all
mms test
Substitute C<mmk> for C<mms> above if you're using MMK.
End of doc patch.
Actually since the ext/util/make_ext script still has to employ the all
target in order to build perl's own extensions I suspect that the need to
use the "all" target explicitly is much more widespread than believed.
$ search [.ext.util]make_ext. all
passthru="$*" # allow extra macro=value to be passed through
echo ' in your call to make_ext. See ext/util/make_ext for
details.'
# The Perl Makefile.SH will expand all extensions to
