Hi, Well, I started looking into this, and my eyes quickly grew bleary. I have looked into both MakeMaker and the generated descrip.mms before, but I must be getting old.
After a few minutes of groaning and moaning, I remembered some traffic about MakeMaker 6.17 being a bit long in the tooth (two years, maybe?). Scrolling through my private list archives, I found that I should have been using 6.30, or at least testing it. I re-upped mmk (because there were some hints that perhaps mms added unwanted <CR><LF>. I built MakeMaker 6.30 with no complaints, the tests gave off some scary messages, but I figured I would just ignore those. I installed the new MakeMaker, went back to SMG, and it built and the example works. So, please ignore the second part of my previous message. However, if you know how to reach Jean-claude Tebbal, please do pass that on to me. Thanks, and sorry for the excessive noise. Carl Friedberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.212.233.5470 www.comets.com
