[ID 20000208.012] syntax error in File/Glob.pm line 1

This is a bug report for perl from root@cerebro.laendle,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl 5.00564.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The error that has already been reported a bit differently (AFAICR), is
still there with the current snapshot, rendering file globbing unusable:

 perl  -e 'do { glob $_ }'
 syntax error at /usr/app/lib/perl5/i686-linux/File/Glob.pm line 1, near "package File::Glob"
 Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
 [Exit 255] 

A real-world example is from gimp-perl:

  my @dirs = map {glob $_} split /\s+/, $dirs;
