I am having problems compiling mod_perl as the following errors report.
...

make[1]: *** [manifypods] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/perl-cpan/build/mod_perl-1.29/Symbol'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
The offending /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/Pod/Parser.pm line 1158 is
my ($in_fh, $out_fh) = (gensym, gensym) if ($] < 5.6);
I thought that I could fix it by changing the reference to
Symbol::gensym() from the gensym reference.
for instance, this works fine as a small test program to resolve the
bareword issue ...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
require Symbol;
import Symbol;
my ($in_fh, $out_fh) = (Symbol::gensym(), Symbol::gensym()) if ($] < 5.6);
But when I do that, it seems that I get a clash on perl's Symbol.pm and
Apache::Symbol with this new error
Undefined subroutine &Symbol::gensym called at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/Pod/Parser.pm line 1158.
