Description
When installing Development options, the files called Config.pm do not extract from Autoconf or Perl. It appears they are protected somehow so that a foreign configuration file isn't used on the wrong system. I also tried to copy one from another drive and failed earlier tonight.
Puzzling.

In an apparently related fault, the latest build now locks up while trying to extract Autoconf. Building from BeOS 5.0.3 here.

This is likely something wrong with your host platform (BeOS 5.0.3) - as I have seen neither of these issues from a Linux host.
It's probably worth noting that the build system uses its own zip tool, rather than the host's own version of zip:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/tools/zip
Perhaps something is configured wrong when this is compiled for BeOS during the first jam?

From within Haiku, if I open the Perl sources and extract them I still get missing files. This rules out BeOS as the culprit for the first problem, at least. Since the second happened only the next day I drew a link between them, but it also may have been coincidental.

As at hrev30266 I can no longer duplicate this fault. Consider it closed.

I also tried unpacking the Perl sources (.tar.gz format) and these files were still missing. Expander shows them as being in the file, so there's possibly a problem with Expander, or rather the underlying shell executable that it calls.
