I've experienced weird problems like this with Perl as well. I think I
reported the problems to djgpp-workers, but I can't remember. I remember
having to run some regexp on @INC to convert the paths somehow. Oh, here we go
- I added the foreach ... { ... } loop in the BEGIN below to the start of
$DJDIR/bin/automake:

BEGIN
{
  my $prefix = "/dev/env/DJDIR";
  my $perllibdir = $ENV{'perllibdir'} || "${prefix}/share/automake";
  unshift @INC, "$perllibdir";

  foreach $inc (@INC) { $inc =~ s!/djdir/!/DJDIR/!g; }
}

But it looks like this replacement isn't needed for deckerben, since DJDIR is
always uppercase is in his report.

deckerben, which version of Perl are you running?

Bye,
