Can't modify single ref constructor in scalar assignment at -e line 4, near "qq{our \$VERSION = '$newver';\n};" about sieve-connect HOT 6 CLOSED

Reproduced in that environment.

This affects v0.87 as well, so it is not a regression from the last release.

Yeah, this is a maintainer build rule, doesn't affect people using release tarballs.

I prep the releases on a box which is currently perl 5.20 File::Slurp 9999.19 on FreeBSD 10.1.

Some kind of whitespace parsing issue; the \ at the end of the line with the regexp on it is combining with the $_ on the next line, I think, to produce \$_ ...

Time to move this out of a makefile and into the repo-generate utility, to avoid stupid shell whitespace parsing portability issues.

I believe that this should now be resolved; please re-open the ticket if it fails for you still.

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.2 and FreeBSD 10.1.

I suspect that the actual problem was a bsdmake vs gmake issue around backslashes and don't fancy developing a headache chasing it further, so I avoided the problem by making each moving part a little simpler.

Thanks for reporting the issue, so that it could be fixed! :)
