This is a bug report for perl from mbma...@apollogrp.edu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

Configure Bug:
perl v5.8.8, stable source tarball MD5:
a377c0c67ab43fd96eeec29ce19e8382  perl-5.8.8.tar.bz2


There is a bug in the "makedepend.SH" script.  There is a missing quote
on line 131.
This caused 'Configure' to fail on my system with this error:


Run make depend now? [y]  
sh ./makedepend MAKE=make
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/apache/perl-5.8.8'
sh writemain lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a  > perlmain.c
rm -f opmini.c
cp op.c opmini.c

./makedepend: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Here is the patch:
131c131
<     */*) finc="-I`echo $file | sed 's#/[^/]*$##`" ;;
---
>     */*) finc="-I`echo $file | sed 's#/[^/]*$##'`" ;;


This is reproducible by:

1. Start with a fresh Ubuntu server 7.04 install
2. mkdir /opt/perl && mkdir /opt/perl/bin
3. Configure with 
	sh Configure -d -Dprefix=/opt/perl -Doptimize="-m486 -O4"
-Dusethreads -Duseperlio -Duseshrplib

I was NOT able to reproduce this on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release
4 (Nahant Update 4)"


Ubuntu Server 7.04
    /bin/sh (Debian Almquist Shell, couldn't get version)  (/bin/sh is
link to /bin/dash)
    /bin/sed (GNU sed, v4.1.5)

Red Hat
    /bin/sh (GNU BASH, v3.00.15(1))
    /bin/sed (GNU sed, v4.1.2)


I suspect that bash is smart enough to correct for the missing quote and
dash is being picky.  I confirmed this by changing the /bin/sh link on
my Debian system to point to bash instead and everything worked fine.
