Bug #25552 for Win32-OLE: libwin32-0.27

Hello, In libwin32-0.27 I am creating the Makefile like this: C:\>perl -MConfig_m Makefile.PL and I am getting the message below. WARNING: postamble takes a string/number not a hash reference. Please inform the author. So here I am trying to inform the author. The module will not "nmake" either, but, given the warning message above I would not expect it to. I am using Windows XP Home edition, SP2, Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 MinGW (if it matters) ExtUtils::Install version 1.41 ExtUtils::FakeConfig version 0.09 Show quoted text
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Win32API::Net WARNING: postamble takes a string/number not a hash reference. Please inform the author. ***** etcetera, etcetera ****** After that, I try to do nmake, and at the end of a lot of other good looking output (not shown) I get a curious error message that concerns ExtUtils::Install, indicating that it gets something bad from libwin32. See "Can't use string ("pmfiles.dat") as a HASH ref " further below. ----------paste of last few lines from nmake attempt g++ -o ..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base -s -mdll -L"C:\Perl\lib\CORE" OLE.o -Wl,--image-base,0x2b200000 C:\Perl\lib\CORE\libperl58.a -lmsvcrt -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi3 2 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 -luuid -lwsock32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 dll.exp dlltool --def OLE.def --base-file dll.base --output-exp dll.exp g++ -o ..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll -s -mdll -L"C:\Perl\lib\CORE" OLE.o -Wl,--image-base,0x2b200000 C:\Perl\lib\CORE\libperl58.a -lmsvcrt -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladv api32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 -luuid -lwsock32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 dll.exp C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod 755 ..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll No root path(s) specified at C:/perl/site/lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 95 C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e cp OLE.bs ..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.bs C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod 644 ..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.bs Can't use string ("pmfiles.dat") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at C:\Perl\lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 983.
