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".
This feature has been patched in the EUMM source repository and will be in a future stable release.
This is available in stable release 6.76
