Hi Monks, Please help me with a Devel::Symdump module compilation. When I compile Devel::Symdump with /usr/perl5/bin/perl (OS supplied perl) both make and make test return successful result. When I try to compile it with my own customized perl in /usr/local/pkgs/perl-5.10.0/bin/perl, make works but make test doesn't succeed. I have observed that these two different perl generate different make files. The ExtUtils::MakeMaker version on OS perl is 6.17 and on my perl it is 6.42. Does that matter?
