MakeMaker uses ExtUtils::Command::mkpath() everywhere. I've long since given up on trying to get native mkdirs to work. So older versions of Perl can be compensated for as problems are found. Besides, I don't have much faith on MakeMaker working on VMS prior to 5.8.0 anyway. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ GOD made us funky!
