Subject: | Report type of Makefile the Makefile.PL is generating |
Makefile.PL generates a Makefile tailored to a specific family of makes
(gnu vs dmake vs nmake vs bsd...). If you then run the Makefile with a
different type of make you get cryptic error messages.
To help against this, Makefile.PL should print a note about what family
of make it is generating for. "Generating GNU style Makefile" or
"Generating dmake style Makefile".
