Yes, I noticed the same issue. I remember seeing Andrei fixing and as far as I
can tell I pulled the fix into the kamailio-3.0 repository, see commit-id

I reported it to Andrei already, please ignore it for now.

Yes, I had the same issue. I ignored it for now too because I'm not that
familiar with perl and I couldn't figure out what dependencies are needed to
compile everything. Any help with this is, of course, welcome.
