Trouble building File::BSDGlob.pm

I'm not a perl guy but I need to make something run that relies on the
BSDGlob.pm module. I downloaded xzvf File-BSDGlob-0.94.tar.gz from
CPAN and generated the Makefile. The make dies with

bash-3.2$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Interestingly, there is NO reference to my_perl anywhere in

Help greatly appreciated,

This Google search may prove of help:

http://www.google.com/search?q=3D%20error%3A%20%E2%80%98my_p erl%E2%80%99%20=
undeclared

A few notes:

1. I was able to successfully run "perl Makefile.PL ; make ; make test" on=
=20
x86-32 Mandriva Cooker here.

2. Since you're on CentOS, you may need to install some packages to get Per=
l=20
modules to build. Moreover, the last release of CentOS still has perl-5.8.8=
=20
which has been end-of-lifed. You may wish to use=20
http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-perlbrew/ to install a more recent perl the=
re.

3. The last release of http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-BSDGlob/ was from=20
1999. Maybe you should replace the functionality that it provides for your=
=20
code with File::Glob's bsd_glob.

I also have versions of this code in COBOL.NET, Intercal, PDP-10 Assembly, =

Re: Trouble building File::BSDGlob.pm

Dear Shlomi Fish,

Thank you for the answer. I tried to use File::Glob's bsd_glob. I
replaced line

use File::BSDGlob ':glob';

with

use File::Glob ':glob';
@list = bsd_glob('*.[ch]');

Now I receive the following error:

Global symbol "@list" requires explicit package name at /big1/robi/
Experiment//AT/ExperimentHarness.pm line 40.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /big1/robi/
Experiment//AT/ExperimentHarness.pm line 41.

This time I tried on Debian 2.6.32-34squeeze1.

Does anyone have any idea?

Robi
