Problem in Makefile (DIRFILESEP=\)
Discovered when using Perl-5.8.7 from
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/Perl-5.8-win32-bin/
Occurs when perl -V:make is set to ''
via ExtUtils::MM_Win32 init_DIRFILESEP
So aside from fixing theoryx5 or your local copy
(modify lib/Config_heavy.pl and restore to default make='nmake')
maybe init_DIRFILESEP should default to \\ instead of \?
nmake does (in my tests) handle \\ same as ^\
sub init_DIRFILESEP {
my($self) = shift;
my $make = $self->make;
# The ^ makes sure its not interpreted as an escape in nmake
$self->{DIRFILESEP} = $make eq 'nmake' ? '^\\' :
$make eq 'dmake' ? '\\\\'
: '\\\\';
}
