[Module::Build] bug in ExtUtils/Install.pm

[Uri G. <ur...@st...>]

anyone ever see this before?

Useless use of a variable in void context at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 267.

the line of code is:

    local *SRC, *CMD;

which is DUMB DUMB DUMB! 

but upgrading that module fixed it.

Yep, seen this just recently when I forgot parens in a variable decleration:

C:\working>perl -we "my $a,$b"
Useless use of a variable in void context at -e line 1.
Name "main::b" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1.

C:\working>perl -we "my ($a,$b)"

C:\working>

Regards,
Randy.

Yeah, I think I was actually the one that patched that line. =)
