[Perlunit-devel] Getting up and Running

[mahmood_ali]

Hello All,

I am new to the world of XUnit testing and PerlUnit for that manner.  I have gotten all my prerequisite packages installed, I am able to do a 'make', but I run into issues with the 'make test'.  Here are some of the errors I receive that prevent me from doing a successful 'make test':

• Subroutine make_new_from_error redefined at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Error.pm line 8.
• Use of reserved word "our" is deprecated at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222.

        Bareword "our" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222.
        Unquoted string "our" may clash with future reserved word at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222.
        Array found where operator expected at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222, at end of line
                (Do you need to predeclare our?)

• Global symbol "@Data_Stack" requires explicit package name at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222.

        syntax error at blib/lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm line 222, near "our @Data_Stack"

The first and third error I am not familiar with at all, but with the second error I am thinking that perhaps my version of Perl is too new.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
