[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62648] build problem with texinfo>6.8

[Arun Giridhar]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #62648 (project octave):

In addition to the patch from gabriele, there's this other workaround in Perl
code:

Change this

if ($_ =~ /$foo/)


to this

if (defined($_) && ($_ =~ /$foo/))


I believe that will be backwards compatible but Perl is not my first language
so please check.

I see from Distrowatch that Arch and Gentoo have upgraded to 7.0 too. No bug
reports yet at those distros though.

My own distro has not upgraded Texinfo yet.  Could you check the above
"defined" on Mac pls? I'll be able to prepare an hg patch in a couple of
hours.
