Subject: | Bundled Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm fails with newer perls |
There are some syntax errors, seen with a perl 5.24.0:
Regexp modifiers "/a" and "/d" are mutually exclusive at inc/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm - /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm line 26, at end of line
Can't use global $_ in "my" at inc/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm - /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm line 37, near "@$_"
It's also quite irritating that the error messages mention "5.8.4" --- there's no such perl installed on this system.
