Problem to install Parse::Lex, all tests fails

Hello,

I have a problem to install Parse::Lex with Perl 5.8.3. I tried on other
systems (Cygwin, Fedora 2) as well, and run into the same issue:

Running make test

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK

Other modules install without any problem, e.g. Parse::Yapp

Anybody came accros this issue, and knows the cause. Thanks.

Okay ...
In Template.pm make the next changes

line 1
old: use strict
new: use strict;

line 135
old: $expr = $1;
new: my $expr = $1;

# pwd
/root/.cpan/build/ParseLex-2.15
t/test4....FAILED test 1
Failed 1/1 tests, 0.00% okay

# cd /root/.cpan/build/ParseLex-2.15
# make install

Apparently perl 5.8.3 is more strict with the syntax.
I have given feedback at search.cpan.org on the above.
