Uhh. As for 5.0/5.6.0, see the >Environment section of the original PR:
When perl Makefile.PL is run it reports a syntax error. This is
*not* a problem, and ervything runs fine after that. The cause of
the message is the inherent dumbness of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Please
disregard it.
As for 4.2/5.005_03, it looks like ExtUtils::MakeMaker is even more dumb
in older Perls. :-(
The fix is a trivial application of `J' in vi - the original code has
$VERSION =
something;
To silence MakeMaker, it must be
$VERSION = something;
on one line. I'll send a corrected version tonight.
Cheers,
*Anton.
