Description William Kenney 2016-09-06 19:50:05 CEST
Description of problem:

launching awstats from a root terminal results in the following messages:

root@localhost cron.daily]# ./awstats
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\"%{ <-- HERE Referer}i\"/ at /usr/share/awstats/www/awstats.pl line 9043.

I don't know if this is good or bad, I've just not seen it before.
Awstats summary display in a browser seems to be ok and follows traffic.

these warnings were introduced in recent perls and version 7.5 of awstats - now in the svn repository - fixes them.

I'll file a freeze push.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED
