Greetings, folks. We have a small fix for makedefs.pl. I tried to bootstrap my libwww build from the tar file "w3c-libwww-5.2.6.tar.gz". on Windows NT4.0 and was unable to do so properly. When running the command perl config/winConfigure.pl I got lots of messages saying Can't open "", No such file or directory at config/makedefs.pl line 115. (With the latest cvs-snapshot, this should not happen.) Looking at line 115 of "config/makedefs.pl", we found that the line die "Can't open \"$1\", $!"; should say die "Can't open \"$name\", $!"; When fixed, we get Can't open "./Library/src/windows/wwwapp.files", No such file or directory at config/makedefs.pl line 115. The latest cvs-snapshot has these "*.files", so you shouldn't see these messages. But anyone using the 5.2.6.tar.gz on Windows is likely to run into this. (Of course, my Linux build worked fine.) BTW, I'm not the Perl hacker here. Credit for this fix really goes to Erik Nordhagen.
