It is quite possible. I have the perl that came pre-installed with
OSX, that is: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8)
I have found the "hard-code" fix with my problem - in the file
"prereq.t", instead of
sprintf("Warning: prerequisite strict 99999 not found. We have %s.\n",
strict->VERSION);
that originally was there, and generates:
Warning: prerequisite strict 99999 not found. We have 1.030.
I wrote directly
sprintf("Warning: prerequisite strict 99999 not found. We have 1.03.\n");
The zero at the end seem to be the problem.
