CGI Lite 1.8 will not build : perl 5.8.6 Darwin 8.8.1

Hello,

just to let you know, CGI_Lite 1.8 refuses to compile and install on Mac OSX Intel:

:~/.cpan/build/CGI_Lite-1.8 root# perl Makefile.PL

Welcome to the installation of CGI_Lite 1.8...

WARNING: MAN3PODS takes a hash reference not a string/number. Please inform the author. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Can't use string (" ") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 503.

:~/.cpan/build/CGI_Lite-1.8 root# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

:~/.cpan/build/CGI_Lite-1.8 root# type perl perl is hashed (/usr/bin/perl)

:~/.cpan/build/CGI_Lite-1.8 root# perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

(...)

:~/.cpan/build/CGI_Lite-1.8 root# uname -a Darwin ok.computer.local 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Mon Sep 25 19:42:00 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.13.8.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 Kalou PS: If you need testing on a future version, just let me know.
