Here is the section of the makefile -- note that line 731 is not
indented at all:



# --- MakeMaker pm_to_blib section:

pm_to_blib: $(TO_INST_PM)
	@$(PERL) "-I$(INST_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(INST_LIB)" \
	"-I$(PERL_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(PERL_LIB)" -MExtUtils::Install \
	-e "pm_to_blib(qw[ <<pmfiles.dat ],'$(INST_LIB)\auto')"

$(PM_TO_BLIB)      <<<<<<<<<<<<<this is line #731
<<
	@$(TOUCH) $@


# --- MakeMaker selfdocument section:


# --- MakeMaker postamble section:


# End.

-------------------------------
Thanks,
Jeff.
