Here are the "mmk test" results I obtained with perl 5.8.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED] kit)

In taking a look at some of the trouble I had reported earlier
regarding the ExtUtils::MakeMaker that shipped with the perl tar ball
I did spot some problems, such as:
$ sho sym perllint
PERLLINT == "$perl_root:[000000]perl "-Is:[refcopy]" "-Mstrict" -w -c"
$ perllint [.lib.extutils.liblist]kid.pm
Global symbol "$fullname" requires explicit package name at
[.lib.extutils.liblist]kid.pm line 522.
[.lib.extutils.liblist]kid.pm had compilation errors.
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
Here is a possible way to patch the Kid.pm that ships with
the MakeMaker 6.10_04 kit:

End of possible diff.
And as modified that module now passes the perllint test:
$ perllint [.lib.extutils.liblist]kid.pm
[.lib.extutils.liblist]kid.pm syntax OK
Unfortunately with that the Makefile.PL for DBD-mysql still generates the
unititialized value trouble that I had reported earlier - only a bit less
so.
I hope something like that helps out the MakeMaker effort.
