I've got a fairly complex perl script that I wrote several years ago, and
have been redeploying on a regular basis since.
Today I built a new FreeBSD 4.11 machin to use this script on. The DBI
routines require a version of perl that's newer than the default one in
FreeBSD (4.x at least, can't speak for 5.x). In any case this is easily
fixed by installing the port which builds perl 5.8.
I garbed the latest Parse::Lex from CPAN, but now when I try to run the
script, I get the following errors:

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to fix this?

Looks to me that's complaining about 'use strict;' . Are you sure it's perl
5.8 that's being run ?
Just to be sure, start your script with 'use 5.008;' - then re-run it and
see what happens.
Cheers,
Rob

Indeed if I remove that from Template.pm the script runs.

Well:

Doesn't that mean it _is_ being execured by the version from ports?

Not sure where to proceed from there. I've never seen that error message
before, don't know what it means, and can't find it in 'perldoc perldiag'.
All I can think of is that perl didn't get built correctly. Maybe someone
else will chip in with some words of enlightenment.
I presume that 'use strict;' in a script produces the same fatality ? ie
it's not a problem limited only to Template.pm ? And it is a *fatal* error ?
(The wording would suggest so.)
Cheers,
Rob

No, that's the interesting patrt. My script has "ue strict" in it. The
problem seems to occur when it is encounterred in a module. Very puzzling.
