I tried this, with exactly the same result. This is not a surprise, since installed.t
and installed.pm from makemaker.org are identical to the ones from the 5.8.1-to-be
kit. So the question is: Michael, are you using a VMS system with an ODS-5 formatted
disk, which supports mixed-case filenames? If you are, it would explain why you don't
see the problem. The problem 'only' occurs when using single-case ODS-2 disks, but
there it is serious enough.
