Hmm. I guess C<DIRECTORY DCL$PATH:MINIPERL.EXE> would be more likely
to reveal how it finds an old miniperl when it shouldn't. But
actually watching it do its thing might be better yet. The following
whacked out of MM_Unix.pm:
$ type findperl.pl
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Config;
my ($component,@defpath,$myperl);
foreach $component (MM->{PERL_SRC}, MM->path(), $Config::Config{binexp}) {
push @defpath, $component if defined $component;
}
$myperl =
MM->find_perl(5.0, [ MM->canonpath($^X), 'miniperl',
'perl','perl5',"perl$Config{version}" ],
\@defpath, 2 );
print "The perl I found was $myperl\n";
which for me yields:
$ perl findperl.pl
Looking for perl 5 by these names:
perl5_7_2 perl5 miniperl perl briana$dka0:[craig.perl]perl.exe;1,
in these dirs:
perl_root:[000000]
Checking perl5_7_2
Checking perl5
Checking miniperl
Checking perl
Using PERL=perl
The perl I found was perl

Will do. Thanks.

All tests pass with bleadperl, OVMS Alpha 7.3, but one test did spew
a lot of complaints:
t/strap-analyze....

and lots more of the same.
