| Subject: | our $VERSION="0.32" in Mechanize.pm causes build problem on FreeBSD 4.5 (perl 5.0005.3) |
Using Perl 5.005.3, I got the following on FreeBSD 4.5
goldenhorse# perl Makefile.PL Could not eval '
package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version;
no strict;
local $VERSION;
$VERSION=undef; do {
our $VERSION = "0.32";
}; $VERSION
' in lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm: Can't modify subroutine entry in scalar assignment at (eval 14) line 7, at EOF
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
=========End of Error Messages=============
It looks like the 'our $VERSION = "0.32";' caused the problem.
I removed the "our" and "perl Makefile.PL" works.
Thanks,
Kenny
