Hi Bastian,

yes, i've noticed the warnings also:

In file included from perl.h:39, from perl.c:47:
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE/perl.h:1108: warning: redundant redeclaration 
of ‘strerror’
/usr/include/string.h:256: warning: previous declaration of ‘strerror’ was 
here                                                                                                    

This warnings are emitted for the generated perl includes because of 
the -Wredundant-decls switch that gets activated some time ago in trunk. It 
should be possible to deactivate them in the perl Module makefile, if you 
like.

Cheers,

Henning
