Works for me with 6.15 and OS X. The error above implies that for some reason post_initialize() wasn't found and it tried to fallback to post_initialize_target() which doesn't exist. post_initialize() does exist, PACK001 should inherit it from MM_Unix via MM_Win32. There's nothing in PPI that would cause this. Is it possible your MakeMaker didn't get upgraded properly and you have a mixed installation? Did you get MakeMaker 6.15 from CPAN or from ActiveState? -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ It's Miller time!

Oh, Perl for Windows. Is this ActiveState's Perl? Could you check to see if it has a method called post_initialize() in ExtUtils::MM_Unix?

Haven't heard from the original reporter. Nobody's reported similar issues with PPI. It's been six years, I think I can close this ticket.
