Problem w/ MSVC Link and Perl 5.6.1

[Alex Jacques]

I recently upgraded from Perl 5.6.0 (ActiveState Build 623) to Perl 5.6.1
(ActiveState Build 629) on Win2k. Oops - the MSVC linker (MSVC 6.0) doesn't
seem to work anymore. I get:

link /nologo /out:intflt_defined.exe utility\intflt_defined.obj
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "TEMPFILE"
cons: *** [intflt_defined.exe] Error 80
cons: errors constructing intflt_defined.exe

I confirmed that the problem is with 5.6.1 and Cons by:
1. Running link manually - all ok.
2. Reverting to build 623 - all ok.

Anybody have similiar problems, or any ideas?

I know there was some talk a while back about 5.6.1 and PATH, but that
doesn't seem like it since it's clearly finding the linker.

P.S. I'm running a CVS version of Cons that's > 2.2.0 but < 2.3.0
