This is a bug report for perl from darenw@pipeline.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Running CPAN, told it to install something (long forgotten what), and
it decided to "upgrade" my perl to 5.8.0, from the existing 5.8.0, which is odd, but
not the bug.   Having downloaded 5.8.0, gone through configuration and many
questions to which i chose the default answers,   it tried to run make but failed.
Here is the end portion of what it wrote:

<<< START CLIPPING >>>>
Extracting x2p/cflags (with variable substitutions)
Extracting x2p/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions)
Configure done.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

make: *** No targets.  Stop.
  /bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
