Subject: directory changing problem with make

Hi all!

Here is an excerpt from Perl 5.004_65 's makefile:

--------8<---------
plextract = pod/pod2html pod/pod2latex pod/pod2man pod/pod2text

$(plextract):	miniperl lib/Config.pm
	./miniperl -Ilib $@.PL
--------8<---------

The scripts in the `pod' directory (like pod/pod2html.PL) begin with a
chdir to the `pod' directory but they don't chdir back to the base
directory at the end. This should be no problem, because make should
take care of this, but it seems djgpp's make doesn't do that
(make 3.76.1).

I hope this could be corrected in the next release (and I will be able
to remove my ugly workaround from Perl's makefile).

Thanks, Laszlo
