I'm reposting an earlier request that I don't think got through......

I'm trying to install Perl on AIX 3.2.5.. I run the config program to
accept system defaults using '& -d'. When I run the 'make' route I get
the following messages:
AutoSplitting perl library

Making DynaLoader (static)
./../../miniperl "I../../lib" "-I../../lib" -e 'use
ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(&mksymlists); \
MM->mksymlists({DL_FUNC => "", DL_VARS => "", NAME => "DynaLoader:})'
Warning (non-fatal): Direct use of class methods deprecated; use
my $self = shift;
$self->MM::mksymlists();
instead
Can't call method "init_main" on unblessed reference at
../../lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 2845.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.

Make quitting.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.
Make Quitting.

all. I'v anyone can help me out please email your reply to :

This bug was fixed in MakeMaker-5.10 or so. Please fetch the most
recent MakeMaker from CPAN/authors/id/ANDK/ and try again.

You will have to copy the files MakeMaker-X.XX/lib/ExtUtils/*.pm to
the lib/ExtUtils/ directory in your perl source tree before you can
compile the extensions. You will have to remove all makefiles in the
ext/ directory, that you have already built. (rm ext/*/Makefile)

CPAN is in North America
e.g. ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/CPAN.
