$ perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at (eval 6) line 7, chunk 63. Could not eval ' package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version; no strict; local $VERSION; $VERSION=undef; do { $VERSION = "0.01"; }; $VERSION ' in RAX.pm: (Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?)
