While running Configure.pl on Linux today, I repeatedly got this error: Configuring languages...main::get_parrot_config() called too early to check prototype at Configure.pl line 32. main::generate_makefile() called too early to check prototype at Configure.pl line 35. main::generate_config_pm() called too early to check prototype at Configure.pl line 38. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at Configure.pl line 77. ..............................................done. This error crept in sometime after r22982. The Configure.pl which is generating the error is *not* the top-level Configure.pl. Rather, it is languages/dotnet/Configure.pl, whose code around line 32 reads like this: # Get Parrot configuration. $parrot_path ||= "../.."; $parrot_path =~ s|/|\\|g if $^O =~ /win32/i; $srm ||= "OptRegister"; die "No such SRM module!\n" unless -e "build/SRM/$srm.pm"; my %config = get_parrot_config( $parrot_path, $srm ); # <--- line 32 # Generate makefile. generate_makefile(%config); # Generate Config.pm. generate_config_pm(%config); (Frankly, I would prefer if this file -- along with languages/ plumhead/Configure.pl -- were named something other than 'Configure.pl'. Naming it the same as the top-level Configure.pl leaves us prone to ambiguous error messages such as the one above.) However, languages/dotnet/Configure.pl has not changed since mid- October. So I think suspicion falls on certain files which have changed in the last few days, including: config/gen/languages.pm config/gen/makefiles/languages.in Thank you very much. kid51
