Hi,
I've just rebuilt perls 5.8.0, 5.8.9, 5.10.0, 5.12.0 and 5.14.0 using the MinGW port of gcc-4.5.2 (on Windows Vista).

No problems with Math-GSL-0.26 except for 5.10.0 where the perl Build.PL step hammers me with: 
C:\sisyphusion_hide\Math-GSL-0.26>perl build.pl

It's the GSLBuilder->new() call in the Build.PL script that makes everything go apeshit. Annoyingly, I can't even find where that new() sub is defined ... certainly can't find it in inc/GSLBuilder.pm.

Anyone know what might be going on ?

By some strange coincidence, many (but not all) of the modules that I've tried to install using CPAN.pm on this build of perl-5.10.0 are also getting screwed by the same absurd error.
Apart from the fact that I loathe both Module::Build and CPAN.pm, I don't know what the connection is.

Cheers,
Rob
