I have some perl modules that build fine with the ExtUtils::MakeMaker that shipped with 5.6.1, but they generate errors with the latest incarnation: $ perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Subroutine postamble redefined at ./Makefile.PL line 90. Writing Makefile for Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog Subroutine postamble redefined at ./Makefile.PL line 90. Writing Makefile for Sun::Solaris::Exacct::File Subroutine postamble redefined at ./Makefile.PL line 94. Writing Makefile for Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object Writing Makefile for Sun::Solaris::Exacct Each of the sub-Makefile.PL's (e.g. Catalog/Makefile.PL) redefines MY::preamble, which as far as I know is perfectly valid thing to do. In that case, why the warnings? As I said, this works fine with the ExtUtils::MakeMaker shipped with perl 5.6.1, it is just the latest CPAN version that barfs. I haven't narrowed down exactly which version this first appeared in, as I'm not sure if it is my fault or MakeMakers fault. -- Alan Burlison --Thread Next
