Looks like PPM is being naughty and using the private MM class. It's just cargo-culting code out of ExtUtils::Install and assuming that by loading ExtUtils::Install you get MM. Very far off base, that. Furthermore, it's using MM just to get at File::Spec methods. It should be using File::Spec directly. Murray, just s/MM/File::Spec/g -- This sig file temporarily out of order.
