Unfortunately, you've misunderstood the problem. ExtUtils-MakeMaker is and has always been a core package of perl. The ebuild for makemaker exists to help older systems, such as yours. However, perl 5.8.2 has been marked stable for archs for over 6 months now, and our ability to continue backwards support is phased out. Can you upgrade your perl version or is there a reason to stay at a lower version? no response |
