[Slapt-get-user] cpan2tgz 0.6.2/slackware-current error?

[Jason Woodward]

Hi Roberto,

> a few days ago I have upgraded both to Slackware-current and cpan2tgz 0.6.2; now, whenever I
try to run cpan2tgz I get the following error messages:
> 
> Use of bare << to mean <<"" is deprecated at /usr/bin/cpan2tgz line 161.

verify whether the problem is related to the upgrade to slackware-current, but if you need more
information I'll be happy to help.

That was a bad package, built from a bad working directory.  I uploaded a new -2 build last
week to the Slackware 11.0 slapt-get source.
