And here’s the offending code:

(cd /home/philip/bertram/bmu-philip/openwrt/build_dir/target-x86_64_core2_musl-1.1.15_powercode-bmu/perl/CGI-4.35/ipkg-install/usr/lib/perl5/5.22 && rsync --relative -rlHp --itemize-changes --exclude=\*.pod --exclude=.packlist  --prune-empty-dirs CGI CGI.pm auto/CGI /home/philip/bertram/bmu-philip/openwrt/build_dir/target-x86_64_core2_musl-1.1.15_powercode-bmu/perl/CGI-4.35/ipkg-x86_64/perl-cgi/usr/lib/perl5/5.22)

those last 2 expressions being passed to sed…

If I have something like:

my $hdr = <<__EOF__ ;
#!/bin/bash -x

__EOF__

then it’s going to totally do the wrong thing…  It thinks that’s a comment but it’s not, it’s a literal in a here-document…
