It's OK, I found it in the archives!
The anwser was:
*******
The problem is that the perl 5.6 headers don't define a necessary value.
If you add the following line to the top of Blowfish.xs and/or DES.xs,
things
should compile and work just fine:
#define sv_undef PL_sv_undef
Hopefully perl 5.6.1 will have this fixed.
********
My understanding of the "problem" is that some modules are not written
correctly, and pre 5.6.0 Perl sort of just ignored the problems, but
starting with 5.6.0 they are getting strict about certain sloppy programming
practices. So, I doubt that 5.6.1 will "fix" this, I think the best
solution is for the modules to get fixed.
