reproduction script
This script was used to reproduce the error
can you test against perl in Rawhide? this should now be fixed |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 Description of problem: Originaly identified by getting incorrect Makefile generation, many of the variables pulled from the default Config.pm installed with the perl-5.8.0-88 rpm seem to go past the line breaks that should deliniate the variable values. An example would be when MakeMaker gets the const_config variables specifically LIB_EXT, the line in Config.pm reads lib_ext='.a' and should be parsed to LIB_EXT = .a, but is actaully parsed as LIB_EXT .a \n libc =. this results in a missing seperator error for MakeMaker. The error was duplicated in writing a script example that pulls directly from Config.pm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl -5.8.0-88 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download a PERL module (Digest-MD5, Time-HiRes, etc ) 2.untar and run perl Makefile.PL Actual Results: Makefile error: *** missing seperator *** Expected Results: Valid Makefile created Additional info:
