  I know this is far beyond your scope of emergency release, but I wonder about your diff. Why use

  $MAKE = $Config{make} eq 'dmake' ? 'dmake' : 'nmake';

  when you can just use

  $MAKE = $Config{make};

  $Config{make} is supposed to hold whatever is necessary to invoke whatever make program is there for the platform, so just trust it...

    Because you want necesarily trust it all the time.
    
    In particular, if you are setting up activestate is only tells you what it was built with, not what you are running it with. So there are cases where it will lie. So I'm fairly careful to correct the case I know is ok (dmake).

      That should read "Because you can't necessarily trust it all the time".
