in reply to Re: Re: shell to perl
in thread Convert makefile to Perl

I beg to differ. cons is not Make. It's a make-like thing with a different basic philosophy. If you want Make in Perl, you would simply use pmake, which is a pure-Perl version that can understand normal Makefiles, including everything that ExtUtils::MakeMaker puts out.
