Here is the section of the makefile around line 731:

724 # --- MakeMaker pm_to_blib section:
725
726 pm_to_blib: $(TO_INST_PM)
727         @$(PERL) "-I$(INST_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(INST_LIB)" \
728         "-I$(PERL_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(PERL_LIB)" -MExtUtils::Install \
729         -e "pm_to_blib(qw[ <<pmfiles.dat ],'$(INST_LIB)\auto')"
730
731 $(PM_TO_BLIB)
732 <<
733         @$(TOUCH) $@
734
735
736 # --- MakeMaker selfdocument section:

Note that line #731 is not indented at all.

Thanks,
Jeff.
