Description Peter Sütterlin 2024-07-10 11:44:15 UTC

I just upgraded my Tumbleweed to 20240708.
Since this update (which updated several perl packages) usage of stow gives a warning:

woodstock:/usr/local/stow # stow redux-20240710/
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator (exit) at /usr/bin/stow line 839, <DATA> line 23.

operation is not affected, stow seems to work normally.

Thanks for the report!

The reason for this warning is Perl 5.40.0, which extended the scope of the precedence warning to include ternary operators:

Thanks a lot for the PR and temporary patch!  This is merged and will be in the next release when I get time for that.  I'm just back from holiday so have a lot to catch up first 😱
