Did you perchance forgot '$' in "$PerlIO::gzip::VERSION"? But I agree that using BEGIN { CGI->compile() if $ENV{'MOD_PERL'}; eval { require PerlIO::gzip; }; # needed for transparent compression our $enable_transparent_compression = ! $@; } instead of BEGIN { CGI->compile() if $ENV{'MOD_PERL'}; eval { require PerlIO::gzip; }; # needed for transparent compression } our $enable_transparent_compression = !! $PerlIO::gzip::VERSION; is more sensible. I have tried to check the above code for the case when PerlIO::gzip is not available by using non-existent module "PerlIO::gzp" in eval, and non-existent variable "$PerlIO::gip::VERSION" in the definition of $enable_transparent_compression variable, and Perl doesn't give any errors nor warnings while running gitweb. But what it is a bit strange, when I have chosen different name for a variable to test, "$PerlIO::gzip::VERSON" (existing but not loaded module, non-existent name), I have got the following strange warning: gitweb.perl: Name "PerlIO::gzip::VERSON" used only once: possible typo at /home/jnareb/git/t/trash/../../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 27.
