| Subject: | Parser::C error and ultra-long variable name |
I don't have a "complete" report for this, but here goes anyway.
On OS X 10.1.4, when I try to execute parp (http://adamspiers.org/computing/parp/), I get the following error:
*************************************************************************
An error occurred:
Global symbol "$break_the_compiler_which_has_bug_Now_the_Perl_version_is_used" requires explicit package name at /Library/Perl/Mail/Box/Parser/C.pm line 7.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /Library/Perl/Mail/Box/Parser/C.pm line 8.
:
Called via DIE handler
*************************************************************************
Nothing like this showed up when I 'make test'ed Mail::Box, but I can't figure out why. Looking at the source, this frightently named variable is just sitting there by itself; I can find no other reference to the variable anywhere else in the distribution, and it looks to me like I should *always* be getting this error. What exactly is the purpose of this variable?
