You're right. Generating the Build works fine. Meanwhile I'm at 30610
and I see:
% head Build
#! /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pV9JsIn/perl-5.8.0@30610/bin/perl
Even if I use explicitly the correct perl when calling Build I see the
error:
% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5*@30610/bin/perl Build
Unknown prototype letters: "_;$" at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pV9JsIn/perl-5.8.0@30610/lib/5.9.5/Fatal.pm line 44.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build line 42.
And if I try it with the Debugger I still see no hint about the root
of the cause:
% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5*@30610/bin/perl -d Build

Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart,
use o inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination,
h q, h R or h o to get additional info.
This does not really look like a wrong perl could be involved.
At the moment I tend to believe that it's a Fatal.pm bug. If I comment
out the 'use Fatal' in ./inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config.pm I can run the
Build script:
% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5*@30610/bin/perl Build
Copying lib/Alien/wxWidgets/Utility.pm -> blib/lib/Alien/wxWidgets/Utility.pm

Fetching wxWidgets...
fetching from: ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.8.1/wxWidgets-2.8.1.tar.gz
But then it hangs seemingly forever. I'll go to bed now and see if I
can find more evidence tomorrow. Any further ideas what I should try?
