Subject: unescaped quotes in Makefile.PL
Just a small error; in the Makefile.PL for the Log-Dispatch-FileRotate-1.13 distribution, the double quotes in the value of the 'AUTHOR' key passed to WriteMakefile in Makefile.PL are unescaped. This causes 'nmake ppd' to fail with a 'Can't find string terminator "}" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1' error. Escaping the double quotes with \ fixes the problem. I'm running ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 and PPM3 on Windows XP. Thanks. Mike

Looks like a bug in nmake ppd. 'AUTHOR' => '"Mark Pfeiffer" <markpf@mlp-consulting.com.au>' is a valid Perl Hash key => value pair AFAIK. cheers markpf
