Subject: Error msg: Your installer Makefile.PL has a modification time in the future
Note: This is not the same problem as reported by David Golden in rt bug 23490. OS: Win2K. The error message is 'Your installer Makefile.PL has a modification time in the future'. The problem is discussed at great length in the docs for the module Win32::UTCFileTime. Suffice to say here only that this patch resolves the issue. Note: This patch applies to the version of Module::Install shipped in the inc directory. You might like to apply it to the version shipped in the lib directory, too.

Hi. Applied a modified version of your patch in the trunk (the reason of modification is M::I must work with Perl 5.5 (Win32::UTCFileTime only works with 5.6+), and we shouldn't depend on a non-cross-platform XS module). Thanks. On 2007-1-03 Wed 01:24:26, RSAVAGE wrote: Show quoted text

Hi. 0.95 is out. If you still have the problem, reopen this. Thanks.
