Subject: Can't create Makefile for DCE-Perl
I'm trying to compile DCE-Perl-0.21 but it's failed when I'm creating the Makefile "with perl Makefile.pl" Seem to word perfectly on an older version of Perl (version 5.005_03 built for aix) and MakeMaker (5.4301) ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.17 yaberge2@info1 ==> /perl5/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good WARNING: TYPEMAPS takes a array reference not a string/number. Please inform the author. ERROR from evaluation of /tmp/dce-perl/DCE-Perl-0.21/ACL/Makefile.PL: Can't use string ("../typemap") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 3958. yaberge2@info1 ==> /perl5/usr/local/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.2 built for aix Copyright 1987-2003, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

By removing the TYPEMAPS value, I've succeed to create my Makefile

That pretty much says it all. All of the Makefile.PLs except the top one feed a string to TYPEMAPS. It wants an array ref and has never taken a string. It "worked" on previous versions of MakeMaker because strict was not on. As a result, the code ran but his TYPEMAPS entries were doing nothing. Please inform the author of DCE-Perl.
