curently make fails with the following error. /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" ._Makefile.PL ._Makefile Unrecognized character \x05; marked by <-- HERE after <-- HERE near column 2 at ._Makefile.PL line 1. make: *** [._Makefile] Error 255 it doesnt like the ._Makefile.PL. which shouldnt be there at all. looks like a MacOS X resource fork to me. In fact there seem to be lots of them all over the tar dist. You would probably need to reupload with those no longer present.

A more up to date EXtUtils::MakeMaker supposedly removes this problem when you make dist.

A workaround, since this doesn't appear to be getting fixed any time soon is to do `rm ._*` just after extracting the tar.
