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.
Comment 1 Wolfgang Frisch 2024-07-11 08:09:40 UTC 
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 😱
