Arch Linux

Summary and Info:

It came with the last perl update that I am no longer able to run stow without the following error message.

I already reinstalled the package but it still fails with the following error:

Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Stow.pm line 1736.

A user in the forums created the following patch [1] that seem to fix the issue:
