I tried to compile mod_perl-1.28 with perl maint.
20512 (http://www.iki.fi/jhi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]). I had a
build failure (different errors each time trying to
build).
I noticed the following messages during perl
Makefile.PL:

Digging through, the following in Apache/ExtUtils.pm
seem to be the problem:
sub Config_pm_fixup {
local $_ = $Config::Config{$key};
$sub-();
..
I could reproduce this using a small script:
$ cat repeat.pl
my $max_count = $ARGV[0] || 100;
while ($count++ = $max_count)
{
$ret = system(./oops.pl);
if ($ret)
{
warn #$count: Errored\n; STDIN;
}
}
$ cat oops.pl
#!perl
test('data');
sub test { replace() for (@_); }
sub replace
{
my %hash = (
ld = sub { s/(.*)/T1/e },
ccdlflags = sub { s/(.*)/T2/; },
);
while (my($key, $sub) = each %hash)
{
local $_ = 'test';
$sub-();
}
}
---
I ran it as:
$ perl ~/repeat.pl

1) The script ran perfectly fine on 5.6.1, 5.8.0 and
also on 5.8.1 RC4
2) This looks similar to bug # 23238
(http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-08/msg00518.html)
3) local *_ before the local $_ in Apache/ExtUtils.pm
(or in the test script) solves the problem.
For whatever is worth, this is the above diff:

Now since this was working until RC4, I'd consider
this a bug. Should this go over to perl5-porters ?
thx
