Re: Compile error with perl5.6

Thanks for the info, perl and I don't get along too well yet.

With your info and some further searching I should have done first,
I have found that this module has a new version 1.09 that specifically
mentions the POLLUTE issue being dealt with. It compiles nicely and
I now have it installed, thanks again.

PS
  Just FYI any others reading this, I had to use
  perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker to get the info on POLLUTE
  and AFAICT the DEFINE is POLLUTE instead of PERL_POLLUTE.
  Of course, I could be VERY wrong just what I found.
