In versions since 1.010, on the latest updated Debian Squeeze (Perl
5.10.1), 'make' eventually borks with:

Manifying blib/man1/parldyn.1p
Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at
/usr/share/perl/5.10/Pod/Man.pm line 268.
make: *** [manifypods] Error 255

To fix in at least 1.013, in myldr/Makefile.PL, replace "MAN3PODS =>
{}," with "MAN1PODS => {}," in WriteMakefile(). I've attached the patch.

Prior to 1.010 (or at least in version 1.009), parl and parldyn come
pre-compiled with the source, so make doesn't try to run that bit here,
which is why you don't see this error when 'make'ing in 1.009 until
after you've done a 'make clean'.

Can't reproduce the error here, but build results in an
empty parldyn.1p which is not very useful anyway.

Patch aplied, will be in the next release.

Cheers, Roderich
