Warning on apt-fast.config file while reconfigure apt-fast about apt-fast HOT 4 CLOSED

hi, can you put it in the code braces?

so here :)

from apt-fast.

I think this has to do with PPA/.deb packaging rather than the code on this repo, @saiarcot895 is who I would refer this to

from apt-fast.

So this has just always been a thing that I ignored while using apt-fast, but after trying to install today on Kubuntu 17.10, it's outright preventing me from using apt-fast at all. Maybe it's more strict about illegal regex? Anyway, while attempting to fix this, I've run into multiple issues:
First, the above "solution" is incorrect. I think it has the solution in the place of the original line:
if ($downloadcmd =~ /\${_MAXNUM}/){
(notice the /\ before ${_MAXNUM/})
and second, upon trying the solution, dpkg complains that _MAXNUM was never declared:
Global symbol "$_MAXNUM" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $_MAXNUM"?) at /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-fast.config line 212.
It might not have to do with the code, as @chrstphrchvz said, but if it's going to break the whole app, then it's our problem.

Thank you for reporting this issue and providing a fix. I updated the apt-fast/stable PPA with the current version and fixed this issue in the config file.
