Intrepid, I read you post on fixing Makemaker by adding the 'require' statements around a module's Makefile.PL

I'm a little surprised that you feel the need to pursue that approach. If you're using Gnu make and/or a Unix-type shell, then the links you seek may well contain useful information for you. But if you're using the freely available dmake (or nmake) in the cmd.exe shell then MakeMaker shouldn't need any fixing at all.

I have used ExtUtils::FakeConfig with ActivePerl build 806 to build a number of extensions - and have not experienced any need to fix MakeMaker.

Cheers,
Rob
