The VMS-specific override of MakeMaker's perldepend section (which
lists all the headers that are part of the core), builds up the
dependencies on multiple lines in this fashion:
$(OBJECT) : a.h b.h
$(OBJECT) : c.h d.h
instead of using continuation lines:
$(OBJECT) : a.h \
b.h \
c.h \
d.h
Does anyone know why it's done that way? Our version keeps getting
out of synch with the MM_Unix version that all other platforms use,
and it would be much more maintainable if we could get rid of the
override. I also notice that continuation lines are scrupulously
avoided in [.vms]descrip_mms.template; is there any good reason for
that?
