Can I rely on Event.pm on win32?
The last time I tried to use the Event module with ActiveState Perl, it didn't work at all. I don't remember what the issue was then. I just tried it again, and this is what I get from make:
Makefile:829: *** missing separator. Stop.
Here's what the makefile looks like starting at like 829:
$(PM_TO_BLIB)
<<
@$(TOUCH) $@Event builds fine using Cygwin on Windows with the Cygwin build of Perl. The makefile in that case looks very different - the $(PM_TO_BLIB) variable is expanded.
If someone does have Event running on Windows without Cygwin, I'd love to hear it, because I'd like to be able to tell the users of my tool that they don't have to install Cygwin.
