I had to copy 2 megabytes of scripts out of [djdir]/lib/perl5 into
[djdir]/share/automake. The automake script SAID that it was seraching my
include path:

bash-2.04$ automake --version
Can't locate auto/Getopt/Long/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains:
/dev/env/DJDI
R/share/automake /lib/perl5 /lib/perl5/site /lib/perl5/site
/dev/env/DJDIR/lib/p
erl5/site .) at /dev/env/DJDIR/share/automake/AutoLoader.pm line 146.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/dev/env/DJDIR/share/automake/Getopt/Long.p
m line 42.
Compilation failed in require at d:/user/djgpp/bin/automake line 1100.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at d:/user/djgpp/bin/automake line 1100.

as you see, /lib/perl5 was already in the path. And so was strict.pm and all
of the other 2 megs of files I had to copy. Once I copied them, automake
seemed to run fine.

I suspect that the problem may be in Automake because similar scripts, like
Autoconf, work fine for me. But I'm not sure if maybe I need to tune
something on my end ... :-(
