Huh. I guess nobody ever reported that since the build is supposed to fail anyway. -- 52. Not allowed to yell "Take that Cobra" at the rifle range. -- The 213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The U.S. Army http://skippyslist.com/list/

Yup, I'd never bothered reporting it before, because I had more important things to deal with at the time. But this time around, I'm wondering if that failure is obscuring behaviour I need. Adam K 2009/3/24 Michael G Schwern via RT <bug-ExtUtils-MakeMaker@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

Done. I moved some code around in the process, unified some redundant generic tool defines between Windows, VMS and Unix. So please make sure things still work.

Blarf. I see what's gone wrong. MM_Win32 inherits from MM_Any first, then MM_Unix. This bizarre arrangement is because MM_Unix still contains a lot of "universal" code, but in come places it has been moved into MM_Any. So if there's an MM_Any method available Win32 should use it, otherwise fall back to MM_Unix. The new init_others() is incomplete in this respect, there's still code in MM_Unix->init_others() that's universal, so I'll have to complete it.

Fixed and tested against the latest Strawberry and Cygwin.
