Summary: Unable to create LXR::Lang::Generic Lang

Initial Comment:
I am running:
LXR 0.9.1
mysql 3.22.30
ectags 5.0.1
HP-UX 10.20

When running genxref --url=http://server/lxr --
version=head
with the config set to run against both a directory or 
CVS repository I get the following error:
Unable to create LXR::Lang::Generic Lang object, Died 
at lib/LXR/Lang/Generic.pm line 263

I have successfully been running lxr.0.3 and have 
transposed (what I hope are) the necessary values of 
the lxr.conf file into the new format.

I've tried this same with lxr.0.8
and get the following error (which I think is probably 
caused by the same thing looking at the code):
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at 
lib/LXR/Lang/Generic.pm line 62.

lxr.0.3 runs fine and I'm content running that for 
now, but would like to try 0.9.1 on HP-UX 10.20 (which 
I guess may be the problem as I've not found any other 
similar reports on Linux).
Thanks in advance for any solutions.

I'm using perl 5.6.1, so your (very) old version of perl may
be to blame.

If you can, try upgrading to a more recent version of perl.
 If that cures the problem, I can add a perl version check
to the code to catch this sort of problem in the future.

In the end changing it to:        
my $tmpstr = '$generic_config = '.<CONF>.";";
eval ($tmpstr);
#$generic_config = eval ("\n#line 1 
\generic.conf\\n".<CONF>);
I expect my perl is dubious though.

Eventually tracked it down to the following line in 
lib/LXR/Lang/Generic.pm:
$generic_config = eval ("\n#line 1 
\generic.conf\\n".<CONF>);
(Forgive me for not providing a line number but I expect 
mine no longer match).
Importing the entire generic.conf file and creating the 
$generic_config hash manually fixes my problem - my Perl 
version is:
This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for PA-RISC1.1
Thanks.
