Actually, it didn't like the "my $name" lines so I just replaced
my $name = shift;
with
$name = shift;
I still ended up with two errors afterwards, though:
# perl -c make_index
syntax error in file make_index at line 33, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file make_index at line 38, next 2 tokens "@$pkg"
make_index had compilation errors.
- From the offending code lines, it would seem that they are trying to treat pkg
as an array of structs instead of a struct as it is treated elsewhere. I'm not
Perl literate, though, so that is just a guess. I suppose Perl5 let's you get
away with stuff 4 didn't? Another fix might be to have ports/makefile use
perl5 to run the script instead of perl, but then you are requiring users prior
to 3.x to install a port so they can use the ports. Thanks for responding
though.
BTW, can somebody please tell me what the "my $<varname>" does anyway? (i.e.
will it break if it is taken out or is it simply an optimization).
