Subject: Documentation bug: $(TOUNIX) instead of $(TO_UNIX)
There's a longstanding (= in all versions currently available on CPAN) bug in the documentation of ExtUtils::Makemaker. The docs say: make tardist First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format otherwise. But the variable's name is "TO_UNIX", not "TOUNIX". Since this is part of the interface, this detail is not unimportant. Oh, and there's another unimportant typo in the same area: "MANFIEST" instead of "MANIFEST".
Fixed, thanks. It'll be in 6.33.
