[copied to makemaker@perl.org just so you know that bleadperl makemaker is being stricter than it used to be] Bleadperl MakeMaker doesn't appear to like the Makefile.PL in DBD-mysql-2.1013: Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Can't use string ("dbimon pmysql") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /home/acme//lib/perl5/5.7.3/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 1407. It turns out that dbimon and pmysql aren't actually in the distribution so the following patch makes everything ok: --- Makefile.PL.orig Tue Apr 16 09:51:39 2002 +++ Makefile.PL Tue Apr 16 09:54:32 2002 @@ -77,7 +77,6 @@ $cflags .= " -DDBD_MYSQL_WITH_SSL" if $opt->{'ssl'}; my %o = ( 'NAME' => 'DBD::mysql', 'INC' => $cflags, - 'EXE_FILES' => 'dbimon pmysql', 'dist' => { 'SUFFIX' => ".gz", 'DIST_DEFAULT' => 'all installhtml tardist', 'COMPRESS' => "gzip -9f" }, HTH, Leon -- Leon Brocard.............................http://www.astray.com/ Nanoware...............................http://www.nanoware.org/ ....
