Anyone having this error message from help2man
(slackware 14.1 and probably also current)
Code:
./help2man program > program.1
Constant subroutine main::LC_ALL redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Exporter.pm line 66.
at ./help2man line 28.
Prototype mismatch: sub main::LC_ALL () vs none at /usr/share/perl5/Exporter.pm line 66.
at ./help2man line 28.
help2man builds the man page,
but if you use it in a Makefile, make exits because of this error message.
This patch to help2man prevent this error message, and apparently no ill effect from the change.

It seems to be an old problem with perl,
so this patch to perl itself from debian may be a better solution.
