Hi folks. I sent a nice bug report yesterday about perl 5.6 MULTIPLICITY breaking makefiles with PERL_OBJECTs, but now my 522 build is trashed -- PPM fails (see example below) -- I don't know What I've got anymore -- haven't seen this since I started using windoze. Have to agree with the premature e-theory this time. I'll install a new OS soon; that should fix everything. I don't have any more time to test perl. Later.

This seems like a PPM bug that should have been opened to ActiveState
rather than a bug with Perl. This ticket should be rejected.

@petdance - Status changed from 'open' to 'rejected'
