[ID 20010427.005] Makefile.SH doesn't generate a makefile

Hi,

I am having trouble compiling perl-5.6.1. The script Configure seems 
to run fine, but the Makefile.SH script doesn't generate a makefile.

If I run Makefile.SH on its own:

[localhost:.cpan/Build/perl-5.6.1] root# ./Makefile.SH
Extracting Makefile (with variable substitutions)
[localhost:.cpan/Build/perl-5.6.1] root#

but no Makefile is generated, and so make fails. I uploaded my 
config.sh to a Solaris box, and the Makefile.SH on that generated a 
Makefile.

I am wondering if there is something odd in the /bin/sh on Darwin.

I am running Mac OS X 10.01, and here is the output of myconfig. I 
have perl 5.6.0 installed on the box as standard, and I pulled the 
version of 5.6.1 from CPAN.

Cheers,

Joel
