NNML fails to build under perl 5.8.8

When trying to build NNML 1.13 under Perl 5.8.8, I find it no longer works. After running perl Makefile.PL, it finishes going through the "init" subroutine, and creates Config.PM with the values I specify. Once that is completed, it dies with the error: You should better enter them on the command line when running nnmirror. Default passwd on remote server? [] Default passwd on local server? [] Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/pubsw/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 422, <DATA> line 147. wrap: /usr/newsw/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor failed with exit status 255
