Subject: Case Error in File Names Creates Spurious Warning
Distribution: PPM-2.1.6 This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ... Binary build 631 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp. OS: Windows98,SE Problem: After downloading and extracting PPM-2.1.6.tar.gz from CPAN, I proceeded to install via 'nmake'. When I called 'perl Makefile.PL', I received a warning saying: The following files are missing from your package: dtd/ppd.dtd dtd/ppmconfig.dtd The Makefile was then written. I checked the ZIP file and observed that therein these files were actually named: dtd/PPD.dtd dtd/PPMConfig.dtd I renamed these files to all-lower-case (as per MANIFEST) and called 'perl Makefile.PL' once again. This time the Makefile was written without warnings. I proceeded with 'nmake', etc., and the distribution was successfully installed.
