Use "use warnings;" instead of "-w". (483 bytes, patch)

Description Adam Sampson 2011-02-04 11:19:51 UTC 
Created attachment 180071 [details] [review]
Use "use warnings;" instead of "-w".

glib-mkenums.in currently starts with:

#!@PERL_PATH@ -w

The problem with this is that PERL_PATH can expand to "/usr/bin/env perl", which results in a #! line with more than one argument. That results in this kind of error when you run the script, several examples of which can be found with a quick web search:

/usr/bin/env: perl -w: No such file or directory

An easy fix is to say "use warnings;" instead of using -w. Patch attached.

Thanks,
Adam
