Hmm. Same problem you had with Perl 5.6.1, right? Let's try this. In [.ext.digest.md5]descrip.mms there will be a line that looks like OPTIMIZE=/NoList Add "/noopt" to the end of that line and try rebuilding the extension. You should just be able to do an MMK in that directory. If that works, then I'd say we've discovered a bug in the compiler's optimizer. >I did a CLEAN, then reconfigured to remove that >component.

Don't know right off whether the configurator is busted or if something got scrambled in your reconfiguration. Thanks very much for testing. You will likely see a couple of test failures due to IEEE floating point expectations (D_FLOAT has no infinity or NaN features).
