ExtUtils::MakeMaker problem

[Doug Barton]

Finally had a chance to get back to this (what a day!). Your patch
worked, at least in the sense that I was able to do 'cpan -t
ExtUtils::MakeMaker' successfully, and I've been able to install a few
CPAN modules on my system, including some that use EU:MM.

The pattern you're matching for $file in this patch seems fairly
pathological ... any idea where/how it's being generated?
