Perl 5.6.0 install errors

Fri, 12 May 2000 09:57:28 -0700 

Hello,

I have been working on getting 5.6.0, using the information on Chuck Lane's
web page at http://www.crinoid.com/perl560.htmlx. I answered configure.com
questions with defaults except:

 Configuration:

    Always use default file types: Y

I got a clean compile and all the tests were successful.

However, when I install, I get errors that look like there are missing
file names. Here is the edited log:
