Hey guys, I'm a perl newb but I'm pretty baffled at this issue. I'm currently running Perl 5.18.1 on a NAS and have lvalue.pm installed at a custom location at: /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/ However compiling my .cgi I get a syntax error with it:
Software error: syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 21, near "want 'LVALUE'" syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 27, near "tie" Can't use global @_ in "my" at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Acces +sor/Lvalue.pm line 27, near ", @_" syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 30, near "}" Can't use global @_ in "my" at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Acces +sor/Lvalue.pm line 33, near "= @_" syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 36, near "want 'LVALUE'" syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 42, near "tie" Can't use global @_ in "my" at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Acces +sor/Lvalue.pm line 42, near ", @_" syntax error at /var/services/web/debug/lib/Class/Accessor/Lvalue.pm l +ine 44, near "}" Compilation failed in require at /var/services/web/debug/cgi-bin/debug +display.cgi line 18. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/services/web/debug/cgi-bin/d +ebugdisplay.cgi line 18.
When I pass this with the perl test I get:
TARDIS> perl -c -e "test Class::Accessor::Lvalue" -e syntax OK
Not sure how this makes any sense at all, I downloaded the lvalue module straight from the CPAN website (I had to manually install).
