Module doesn't work under 5.20.1

[lukec]

Hi there,

I tried using this module under 5.20.1 and I get the following errors:

Parse error at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/AnyEvent/HTTP/Server/Kit.pm line 84.
syntax error at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/AnyEvent/HTTP/Server/Kit.pm line 84, near "$;"

/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/AnyEvent/HTTP/Server/Kit.pm has too many errors.

Is this something you could look into supporting? I suspect this is related to the function prototypes?

Edit file /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/AnyEvent/HTTP/Server/Kit.pm
The first line maybe looks like 'package blib/lib::AnyEvent::HTTP::Server::Kit;'
So you muct change to 'package AnyEvent::HTTP::Server::Kit;'

That doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. The Package line is as it is supposed to be, still:

Parse error at /home/ep/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0/lib/site_perl/5.20.0/AnyEvent/HTTP/Server/Kit.pm line 84.

This is my patch. It drops the prototypes and makes it magically working again. I don't understand why and how it breaks down, but this is a temporary fix.

My perl is:
This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 0 (v5.20.0) built for x86_64-linux
