The problem is that File::Path got patched in the latest
Ubuntu/Debian packages for Perl. It now require's Cwd
which it didn't do before. But deep down in par.pl, File::Path
is require'd while
local $INC{'Cwd.pm'} = __FILE__;
is in effect. I.e. par.pl pretends Cwd is loaded while it really isn't.
This causes `Bareword "getcwd" not allowed while "strict subs" in use'
since getcwd is not declared anywhere.
Comment out all (4) occurences of the above line in par.pl,
this hasn't shown any negative effects for me so far.
I dunno why this hack is there in the first place (and why
it's disabled on Windows)?
