Possible precedence issue with control flow operator #25

Closed eridal closed 5 years ago

eridal commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

Just recently installed a new system, and any stow command will output the same warning:

$ stow -V
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl5/Stow.pm line 1736.
stow (GNU Stow) version 2.2.0

Is this known? Are there any workaround?

@eridal What's your perl version?

Here are my stow and perl versions:

> stow -V && perl --version
stow (GNU Stow) version 2.2.2

This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for x86_64-linux

@kaushalmodi here's the perl version

> stow -V && perl --version
stow (GNU Stow) version 2.2.0

This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 2 (v5.20.2) built for arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int

Really sorry for the terribly slow response. This was fixed in d788ce0c1c59b3158270143659f7a4363da73056 which was part of the 2.2.1 release.

Thanks! Confirming the problem is gone at v2.2.2

This problem seems to have crept up again...

❯ stow --version && perl --version
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator (exit) at /usr/bin/stow line 839, <DATA> line 23.
stow (GNU Stow) version 2.4.0

This is perl 5, version 40, subversion 0 (v5.40.0) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
aspiers commented 2 months ago

That was already fixed by #113.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug??

PS:-I'm on Arch, BTW

It's not released yet, so unless you're installing from git, it's expected that you would still see the warning.

aspiers commented 4 weeks ago

It will be fixed in the 2.4.1 release but for now you can install from git or just manually patch your stow script with this change.
