With ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.25_07, perl 5.8.6, mmk V3.9-6,
and a test case of a slightly modified DBI 1.45 initially I obtain:
%MMK-F-CANTUPD, cannot update target MCR - sources unknown
$ MCR dga2:[perl-5_8_6_root]perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command" -e cp Changes
[.blib.lib.DBI]Changes.pm
$ MCR dga2:[perl-5_8_6_root]perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command" -e cp
Roadmap.pod [.blib.lib.DBI]Roadmap.pm
cp [.lib.dbd]dbm.pm [.blib.lib.dbd]dbm.pm
cp [.lib.win32]dbiodbc.pm [.blib.lib.win32]dbiodbc.pm
cp [.lib.dbi]w32odbc.pm [.blib.lib.dbi]w32odbc.pm
herein are many completed commands.
In a subsequent attempt to simply run mmk in the directory:
$ mmk
%MMK-F-CANTUPD, cannot update target MCR - sources unknown
$ show symbol $status
$STATUS == "%X1C14805C"
It appears that it wants to consider MCR as a target for some reason.
A run of mmk/log indicates that it wants to update a file called
perl.c (itself apparenty derived from perl.xsi).
This is beginning to look like a problem with the XSUBPP macros.
Contrast the following search (think grep) done to the descrip.mms
generated for DBI 1.45 by MakeMaker 6.17:
$ sea descrip.mms xsubpp
# --- MakeMaker tool_xsubpp section:
XSUBPPDIR = perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]
XSUBPP = $(PERLRUN) $(XSUBPPDIR)xsubpp
XSUBPPDEPS = perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap typemap
XSUBPPARGS = -typemap perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap -typemap typemap
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET)
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).c
perl.c dbi.c : $(XSUBPPDEPS)
Compared to the same search for the 6.25_07 generated
descrip.mms file:
$ sea descrip.mms xsubpp
# --- MakeMaker tool_xsubpp section:
XSUBPPDIR = perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]
XSUBPP = $(PERLRUN) $(XSUBPPDIR)/xsubpp
XSUBPPDEPS = perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap typemap $(XSUBPP)
XSUBPPARGS = -typemap perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap -typemap typemap
XSUBPP_EXTRA_ARGS =
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET)
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).c
dbi.c perl.c : $(XSUBPPDEPS)
If I remove the extraneous $(XSUBPP) macro from the XSUBPPDEPS assignment
I now obtain:
$ mmk
MCR dga2:[perl-5_8_6_root]perl.exe perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]/xsubpp
-typemap perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap -typemap typemap PERL.xs >PERL.C
Can't open perl script "perl_root:[lib.extutils]/xsubpp": file
specification syntax error
%RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error
%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X000186D4 occurred when updating target PERL.C
If I correct the XSUBPP path like so:

Which looks like a problem with DBI code not MakeMaker.
I hope that provides some useful feedback. Sorry I do not yet
have a path for the XSUBPP problems on VMS.
