Subject: lib/build_OID_registry: avoid non-destructive substitution for Perl < 5.13.2 compat
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2024 17:58:01 +0200
On a system with Perl 5.12.1, commit 5ef6dc08cfde
("lib/build_OID_registry: don't mention the full path of the script in
output") causes the build to fail with the error below.
Bareword found where operator expected at ./lib/build_OID_registry line 41, near "s#^\Q$abs_srctree/\E##r"
syntax error at ./lib/build_OID_registry line 41, near "s#^\Q$abs_srctree/\E##r"
Execution of ./lib/build_OID_registry aborted due to compilation errors.
make[3]: *** [lib/Makefile:352: lib/oid_registry_data.c] Error 255
Ahmad Fatoum analyzed that non-destructive substitution is only supported since
Perl 5.13.2. Instead of dropping `r` and having the side effect of modifying
`$0`, introduce a dedicated variable to support older Perl versions.
