This is a bug report for perl from 0briang0@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.15.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

If $LS_COLORS contains an entry that csh does not understand, it
displays an error message ("Unknown colorls variable `mh'"), exits and
returns an error status. In some circumstances, miniperl implements
glob() using csh causing glob() to fail.

This error manifested itself in a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.2 causing
failures in t/porting/dual-life.t and t/porting/podcheck.t. I also
encountered it in FreeBSD 8.1.

    # Failed at porting/dual-life.t line 55

These failures occur in all perls derived from v5.13.5-303-gcde5101
(Move pod2usage.PL, podchecker.PL, podselect.PL into
cpan/Pod-Parser/scripts)
