Subject: Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated
Up to perl 5.16.3 there was a warning 'Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated' when a construct like for my $attr qw(foo bar) ... was used. Newer perls require that to be written for my $attr (qw(foo bar)) ... You can see the warning e.g. in report http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/09b3423e-e22e-11e2-a576-ed2b7edcaacb In perl 5.18 the deprecation was actually implemented, so now PDF::TableX contains a couple off syntax errors, e.g. when the above code is encountered in https://metacpan.org/source/PAPKALA/PDF-TableX-0.013/lib/PDF/TableX.pm#L33 Hope this helps && Thanks,
A sample report where you can see the syntax erro in action is http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/cf9e75b2-f576-11e2-8743-8a0b89f30751
