Privileges::Drop Null filename used at -e line

simo1980 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I'm trying to install the module Privileges::Drop on my redHat 9 (perl is 5.8.0) but it failed

after typing: perl Makefile.PL I received the message: Null filename used at -e line 1

It seems to be a bug, but not solved yet https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=69840 Thanks for your help
