Re: Fwd: Error inserting click.ko module in kernel mode

Hi guys,

Try updating Click to the latest version checked in to git. This Perl 
error is annoying; most versions of Perl do not cause the error, but 
some do. I believe I have worked around it, but having never seen the 
error myself, can't be sure.
