Kildclient not working after perl update

Post by Maelstrom »

Hello,

After updating Perl (at least, I think Perl is the culprit), I'm getting the following error when I try to connect to a server:

Use of the encoding pragma is deprecated at /usr/local/share/kildclient/kildclient.pl line 0.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Anything I can do to fix it?

First question is, have you noticed any other Perl-relate problems on your systems? Updating the system Perl on a Linux system is usually a recipe for disaster.

There weren't any other perl problems that I noticed. I never worked out what went wrong exactly, I ended up building it from source, and now it's working... The AUR version and the source version are the same, so the only thing I can think of is that some other package has upgraded and fixed the problem in the meantime.

Thanks for the help though, and if you'd like me to try to reproduce the problem to debug it, I'd be happy to help out.
