| Subject: | Makefile.PL substitution quoting issues |
Environment: HP-UX 11.0, ksh, Perl 5.6.1.
$ make
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
*** Error exit code 255
Stop.
It appears that there is a problem with nesting quotes in the makefile. Attached is a patch that quotes the outer quotes on the perl pattern replacement call.
Not sure if this will also work in other shells or OS. Needs testing in other environments.
