Nope. MakeMaker builds itself with itself. It's not using 15489's.
Can you try 5.52_01 again with 5.6.1? I didn't have any of your
problems below, and I'd like to confirm if it's the difference in perl
versions or environments. I was also using mmk, not mms.
What is mms? How is it different than mmk? And how can I get a copy?
It seems much more strict than the other make-like utilities I'm
using, and that's Good.
Anyone know how to throw GNU make into a 'strict' mode? Or suggest
some freely available and Very POSIXly Correct make I can try?

Ahh, NAME is generated twice. Apply this:

Hmm. This could be a few things. I don't quite understand the
difference between:
makemakerdflt : all
makemakerdflt :: all
makemakerdflt : all
$(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
makemakerdflt :: all
$(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
but try each and see if it makes a difference. (Wanted: make guru)

_is_type($file, 'prog') is failing and taking the other two with it.
The problem is probably in _is_prefix with my clever Unixification
trick not working. Could you dig in a little? The test on line 59
should the be only on needing investigation.

Something is mixing Unix and VMS styles. Not sure if it's inside or
outside ExtUtils::Install. Do this please: go into your descrip.mms
and find the pure_site_install target. Remove this line:
$(NOECHO) Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm .MM_tmp;
and run "mms pure_site_install". You should have the .MM_tmp lying
around still. Send it to me, please.

Yep, since the above was building itself with itself.

Don't Panic! I don't think this will be hard to fix. I just need to
be able to reproduce the problem.
PS I just had a thought... perlhaps all those blank lines you were
getting were from "$(NOECHO)" not being quite properly honored?
ie. it's not echoing the command but it's still spitting out the
newline.
