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
