Deprecated perl stuff in ghc-split
On Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (adm64): gwern@craft:19282~>perl --version [ 4:22PM]
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
Every single compiled module generates a warning: "$* is no longer supported at /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/ghc-split line 39."
The line mentioned is:
$* = 1; # multi-line matches are OK
This deprecation warning is very annoying and obscures output, especially on packages with hundreds of modules such as XMonad or Darcs. A fix would be nice; presumably Perl would not have deprecated something without a easy fix being available.
