I didn't because it is quite long but:
Summary	0000303: CPAN (make) under 5.10.0 fails to build with "No rule
to make target `/perl5/lib/5.10.0/os2/Config.pm'"
Description	I'm not sure if this is related to 236 or perhaps a 
remnant of 224, but I can't for the life of me get past this one. 
Here's a snippet:

Warning: Prerequisite 'Parse::RecDescent => 1.94' for 
'M/MA/MARKOV/Mail-IMAPClient-3.12.tar.gz' failed when processing 
'D/DC/DCONWAY/Parse-RecDescent-1.94.tar.gz' with 'make => NO'. 
Continuing, but chances to succeed are limited.
Warning: Prerequisite 'Test::Pod => 0' for 
'M/MA/MARKOV/Mail-IMAPClient-3.12.tar.gz' failed when processing 
'P/PE/PETDANCE/Test-Pod-1.26.tar.gz' with 'make => NO'. Continuing, 
but chances to succeed are limited.
Warning: Prerequisite 'Digest::HMAC_MD5 => 0' for 
'M/MA/MARKOV/Mail-IMAPClient-3.12.tar.gz' failed when processing 
'G/GA/GAAS/Digest-HMAC-1.01.tar.gz' with 'make => NO'. Continuing, but
chances to succeed are limited.
make: *** No rule to make target `/perl5/lib/5.10.0/os2/Config.pm', 
needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
  MARKOV/Mail-IMAPClient-3.12.tar.gz
  make -- NOT OK
Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store 
persistent state
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Additional Information	Forgetting the earlier warnings, the "No rule 
to make target `/perl5/lib/5.10.0/os2/Config.pm'" is persistent.

I have perl installed on J:, and the following in CONFIG.SYS:

SET PERL_PATH=j:/perl5/lib
SET PERLLIB_PREFIX=/perl5/lib;j:/perl5/lib
REM SET PERL_BADFREE=0
REM SET PERL_BADLANG=0
SET PERL_SH_DIR=j:/bin

(The remmed statements predate my installation of 5.10.0 and refer to 
my earlier 5.8.0 EMX installation, built by Henry.)

Am I missing something simple, perhaps? Then again, I see Shmuel's 
reference to the same issue here: 
http://fixunix.com/os2/557536-installing-perl-cpan-modules.html [^] , 
so I'm thinking that there is something we have in common...

TIA

i'll have to test installing from cpan - i normally just download the 
modules and install manually 

I've managed to figure some of this out...

Evidently, Paul, there is still a need to edit the paths in 
Config_heavy.pl and Config.pm. I added "u:" to all of the paths, and 
after running in your build environment, cpan actually works. So, 
aside from needing the paths adjusted, there must be some conflicting 
versions of utilities (quick example: tar.exe shipped with eCS 2.0 RC6
and installed to \ecs\bin doesn't work quite right, as it refuses to 
recurse into bundled gzip archives).

Once I get this all sorted out, I'll post a follow-up.

I think it's more a matter of getting half the story in the error 
message instead of the whole thing (e.g., I had another module failing
to build, but only a cryptic "unknown error"...the "unknown error" was
revealed when running make -d, and it was the fact that we couldn't 
find gcc.exe!). 

I wish I could remember when I post things like this. I've just spent 
two days trying to get this to work, and this would have given me a 
leg up (because I'm *almost* to the point where I left off in 2008). 
Still path issues. I even tried a clean Perl install on C:, as that's 
where /HOME/DEFAULT is located, and where .cpan lives. Figuring that 
there are still a number of POSIX paths (I even got - for free - an 
almost barren /perl5 skeleton created for me by default on C:), I 
started with a clean Perl on the same drive, and configured CPAN from 
scratch, not even allowing it to choose defaults, but taking pains to 
ensure that all paths were correct (I did not check the tar.exe issue 
I was seeing in 2008, though; I'll have to look again).
