I have tried to install perl 5.26.1 on my local machine. But I wasn't
able to reproduce this bug. Here are the commands I have executed from
the Automake git repository:
$ PERL=/path/to/local/perl ./bootstrap
$ ./configure PERL=/path/to/local/perl
$ make
Can you provide a recipe to help me reproduce it?
Sorry for the delay.
Thanks.
