Hello,

Using TWIKI-4 SVN, and in lib/Twiki/Configure/Checker.pm, there is a typo that prevents it from working properly.

In the first section of the checkPerlModules functions, there is an if statement, if (ref($_[0])) {, like that. Later on, right after, there's a missing hash symbol % for the $mods which causes a "software error" and it bombs out after the CGI env. stuff.

full text, error itself is on line 187:

BEFORE:

sub checkPerlModules {
    my $this = shift;
    my $mods;
    if (ref($_[0])) {
        $mods = $_[0];
    } else {
        %$mods = (@_);
    }

AFTER:

sub checkPerlModules {
    my $this = shift;
    my $mods;
    if (ref($_[0])) {
        %$mods = $_[0];
    } else {
        %$mods = (@_);
    }

Interesting; possibly something to do with your perl version, because I don't get this error. The code is right; if $_[0] is a reference to a hash, then $mods is pointed at the same hash; the % sign is not needed, and is wrong. The error you are seeing must be the result of the call; can you share the stack trace please?

Discarding until sufficient information provided to allow the error to be reproduced.
