ISTR that someone posted on #p5p the other day that, since ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.32 was merged into blead (commit 09a7143acf21dfa32d1eb4baef619ceb18c46d1f; Sat Feb 17 05:42:32 2018), we were getting warnings like this when running 'make test' or 'make test_harness': ##### WARNING: Older versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker may errantly install README.pod as part of this distribution. It is recommended to avoid using this path in CPAN modules. ##### BingOS has since uploaded some devel versions of MakeMaker to CPAN. Today I created the smoke-me/jkeenan/makemaker-7.32-problems branch in which I ran: ##### perl Porting/sync-with-cpan --tarball=/tmp/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.33_02.tar.gz ExtUtils-MakeMaker ##### ... then ran 'make test'. I can report that the warnings have been cleared up from test files such as dist/IO/t/io_unix.t, but not from test files in cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/*.t. YMMV. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
