Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./configure line 1520

Hi,
Im trying to run the configure script for installing a software binary_c on my Linux 64 bit machine.

I get this error.

"Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./configure line 1520"

Even though there seem to be several threads on this error, I am unable to solve my issue. So I'm posting it again.

Here are parts of the configure script (with line numbers) below:

1519 # OS-specific
1520 Linux =>
1521 {
1522 check => ($os eq 'Linux') ? 1 : 0,
1523 cflags => ' -DLINUX -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE '.
1524 ($cc!~/m32/ ? '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ' : '').
1525 ((-f '/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid' &&
1526 (slurp '/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid') =~/^[12]/) ?
1527 '-D__HAVE_PERF_EVENTS__ ' : '')
1528 },

Thanks for any kind of help!

Please place code between [ CODE ] [/ CODE ] (remove the spaces) tags. Your error is either being caused by $cc or

Code:

(-f '/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid' && (slurp '/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid')

being undefined.
