Subject: problems on VMS
Hi, It looks like Module::Install doesn't handle non-case-preserving filesystems (like on VMS): TIMMERMAN:FASOLT$ perl Makefile.PL Can't locate object method "new" via package "Module::Install::autoinstall" (perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Install::autoinstall"?) at inc/Module/Install.pm - lib/Module/Install.pm line 269. %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
Craig Berry has a patch to fix this but never got a reply: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2005-03/msg00071.html

Adam K here, just reviewing the existing bugs. Since Autrijus has stepped away a little, and I'm not trying to gradually clean this thing up a bit, I'm sure we can get someone VMSy access to the SVN repository for Module::Install, so they can apply at least the uncontrovertial parts (NOECHO etc). Let me know
