| Subject: | Possible fix for "unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: 'ARRAY(0x9367030)'" |
Symptom:
'make dist' in an inc::Module::Install-based repository warns
"Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: 'ARRAY(0x9367030)'"
Cause:
The Makefile.PL for the distribution has "cc_lib_links('crypto');". The
implementation in Module::Install::Compiler has:
$self->makemaker_args(
LIBS => join ' ', $self->makemaker_args->{LIBS}, map { "-l$_" } @_
);
.. but Module::Install::Makefile declares LIBS as ARRAY.
Fix:
I don't understand this stuff, but this patch appears to fix it:

}
Detail:
This affects, for example, Crypt-OpenSSL-X509-1.800.2:
% zcat archive/Crypt-OpenSSL-X509-1.800.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
% cd ~/pkg/Crypt-OpenSSL-X509-1.800.2
% /opt/perl-5.14.1/bin/perl Makefile.PL
