It's ok for me. I've just run it to make sure - I think all that happens is
the existing makefile gets rewritten (as there are no '@[' or '[' symbols).
Mitchell posted the other day that it should be a pattern match because of
vagaries concerning '$^O'.
if($^O =~ /Win32/i) {}
You could use the 'Win32::IsWin95()' function or query the system variable
'OS' to find out whether it is a 95/98/ME or NT/2K/XP box if you wanted.
Imho it would be better for Patrick to remove the lines '@[' and ']' from
MM_Unix.pm - then he should never have to apply that fix to any
'makefile.pl' ever again.
That's a *very* humble (and a not-very-strong) opinion. If Brian wants to
get around a command.com/MM_Unix problem, I have no objection. Afaik, he
would be the first author to do so.
(Sheesh, Rob .... don't encourage him :-)
Cheers,
Rob
