...I've found the single statement that causes the problem, and I'm even more mystified what the hell is going on....If I remove all of those problemed lines, the Makefile is generated just fine. What's going on?
Its simple, APR is breaking MakeMaker. How or why is a question best left to the maintainers of those modules.
The original version ran eval to determine is APR::UUID is available, and if it was, add it to PREREQ.
That doesn't make sense to me. If APR::UUID is a prereq, it should be listed in PREREQ_PM no matter what. If its already installed, whats the point of adding it to PREREQ_PM?
If there's a problem with the APR module, why in Makefile.PL and not in -e? If the lib is just crapping out, where's the error?
Because in Makefile.PL you're using MakeMaker, which is what APR breaks?

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
