Under Activeperl 5.8.2 with MakeMaker V6.17 and 6.21 nmake cause this error:

This is a duplicate of bug #2808 where I submitted a patch but I don't have the
rights to mark this as a duplicate. Can someone close this as a duplicate?

I don't believe that it does work with MakeMaker 6.05 either. I found it very
easy to get the makefile in a state where it appeared to work when switching
versions and possibly when switching between testing under Cygwin anf then under
Windows. It took running nmake realclean and then trying the test again to be
sure of not running a contaminated test.
Comment 2 Alessandroni Paolo 2003-12-18 05:49:50 UTC 
All my tests were with clean source.

With the referenced patch the problem is solved.

Thank you.

Ciao. Paolo.
