Hi all, I am getting reports of a strage error message when trying to build a M::B 0.26 based distro (Mail::SPF, currently 2.000_003) on certain systems that have a _higher_ version of M::B:
http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Mail-SPF.html For example, on a system with M::B 0.280500, it says: | Global symbol "$VAR1" requires explicit package name at (eval 24) line | 1075, <GEN6> line 1. | ...propagated at | /usr/local/standard-perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Module/Build/Base.pm | line 1002, <GEN6> line 1. The 'Global symbol "$VAR1" requires explicit package name' message is the recurring pattern. As the maintainer of the libmodule-build-perl Debian package seems to be sleeping, Debian still has only 0.26, so I haven't been able to reproduce the issue myself. A user of my package found out that the problem could be avoided by changing _build/build_params to say '$main::VAR1' instead of '$VAR1'. Again, I couldn't reproduce it myself. Might this be a bug with M::B 0.26 based packages when they are built with some higher version of M::B? Julian.
