JS broken with Perl 5.22

Description

Both versions of Mozilla JS - 17.0.0 and 24.2.0 - fail to build correctly when using Perl 5.22. I found a patch here - ​http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/spidermonkey24/files/patch-config_milestone.pl?revision=383886&view=markup - though it can be fixed with a sed: 

sed -i 's/(defined\((@TEMPLATE_FILE)\))/\1/' config/milestone.pl

This works for both versions of JS.

Chris, perhaps this can be called a defect. Thanks for reporting and giving the solution.

Cannot take it, because I am using perl-5.20.2.

Please, can someone examine and eventually take this ticket?

Investigating, I was able to confirm for for both js-17 and js-24 in a chroot environment.

Interesting side note: js-24 fails at configure with a python environment problem. configure works in a full up environment. The configure issue does not seem to be related to perl. If I comment out the problem lines in configure, the build works fine with the sed. Since this seems to be just a chroot issue, I'll not but anything in the book about it.
