Subject: specifying AUTHOR via command-line is broken
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 23:46:31 +0000
To: "'bug-ExtUtils-MakeMaker [...] rt.cpan.org'" <bug-ExtUtils-MakeMaker [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Shupak, Vitaly" <Vitaly.Shupak [...] deshaw.com>
Specifying the AUTHOR field via command-line arguments is broken: $ perl Makefile.PL AUTHOR=me Can't use string ("me") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 2852. I'm using ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.68, but I've confirmed that the same problem still exists in 7.04. This probably broke after 6.57_02, when AUTHOR started accepting an array ref. Thanks, Vitaly
This has been fixed with 7.12. Many thanks.
