Patch for stow 2.2.0

Description of problem:
Fedora 22's version of stow produces an annoying warning message on startup. This is caused by Perl 5.20's strict grammar checking.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
stow-2.2.0-7.fc21.src.rpm
perl-5.20.2-325.fc22.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stow --help >/dev/null

Actual results:
The program produces this output:
"Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl5/Stow.pm line 1736."

Expected results:
No warning message.

Additional info:
The fix is trivial and is already pushed to stow's master branch:
https://github.com/aspiers/stow/commit/d788ce0c1c59b3158270143659f7a4363da73056

The same patch, for stow 2.2.0, is also included here as an attachment.

I use stow to manage my dotfiles and see the same warning every time. I understand that it's not critical but it'd be nice to have the patch applied to the package :-)
