Description Michael v. Szombathely 2002-09-04 20:39:00 UTC 
Have unintentially perl-5.8.0 results in a desaster:

/home/software/bin/perl -I../../tools/pm ../../tools/gtkmmproc -I
../../tools/m4 --defs .  thread . ./../glibmm

The 'illegal character in prototype' message come from the prototype like
for subs, eg:

sub parse_values($, $)
Comment 1 Michael v. Szombathely 2002-09-04 20:46:36 UTC 
By changing

  sub parse_values($, $)

to

  sub parse_values

it works, The 'uninitialized value' error message seem to be more
difficult to understand.
Comment 2 Murray Cumming 2002-09-06 12:41:51 UTC 
A real patch would be nice. This does not seem to be very important 
because it only affects building from cvs.
