Using mod_perl 2.0.3.
Error generated is:
<command line>:3:2: missing '(' after predicate
whenever a compile is attempted.
If Perl was compiled with a fully pathed gcc compiler (/opt/hp-gcc/bin/gcc,
for example), lib/Apache2/Build.PL puts the wrong flags on the compiler
command. GCC does not understand the "-Ae" compiler flag, so it fails. I
have looked at the latest development snapshot and they also have this
"problem".
I have seen a previous message that uncommented the #XXX? line in the
source to solve a build problem under gcc on HP-UX. Not sure if this is
the best solution, (cmp against basename or split may be better, for
example), but it addresses this version of the problem. One potential
pitfall I could see is if the compiler name ends in "gcc" but is not
actually GCC (minimal risk, but hey :)
Not sure how to generate a test case for this :)
