The problem behind this problem is that when PERL_CORE is set, running Makefile.PL does not generate the metafile section of the Makefile. That happened last September: <https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/f91b5144ee197e0c875e927e5b2603d65d0797d1> I'm guessing there was a desire to test metafile and other things depending on it (e.g., disttest) even when running in core, thus the deletion of PERL_CORE in some tests more recently. It looks like that only causes trouble on Windows because of the FIXIN problem cited earlier. Not sure what to suggest. It's two different meanings of PERL_CORE colliding: 1.) "do things differently when using MakeMaker to build the core" and 2.) "do things differently when running MakeMaker's own tests in the core."Thread Previous | Thread Next
