>From time to time, I would get this error: [...] sed: -e expression #8, char 41: Unterminated `s' command make: *** [git-add--interactive] Error 1 Turns out that the function WriteMakefile() called in Makefile.PL outputs the message "Writing perl.mak for Git" to stdout! Thus, the output of "make -C perl -s --no-print-directory instlibdir" would be prefixed by that message whenever Makefile.PL was newer than perl.mak. This is fixed by redirecting stdout to stderr in Makefile.PL. Signed-off-by: Johannes E.
