. It looks like Autoconf needs to be updated for Perl changes.
I am seeing things like this all over the place. I have perl 5.26.1 here
and we should expect that these little errors are going to pop up in
plenty of software packages :
nix$ perl -V | head

It seems to me this might be patch by patching the test suite like this:

Such tiny little single char changes always remind me how frail software
can be when we have so many dependencies.
However, I cannot test it right now, so no guarantees.
I can, on a few platforms.
503: autoscan FAILED
(autoscan.at:44 <http://autoscan.at:44>)
This one is due to well known issue:
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal
in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${
<-- HERE [^\}]*}/ at
/usr/local/build/autoconf-2.69_rhel_3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64_x86_64.001/bin/autoscan
line 361.
I believe this was discussed here before as well. I thought this was
fixed already.
That again ... this is a new Perl issue also and the fix is trivial.
Annoying really.

Let me do a few things and get back to you. Perhaps a quick patch and
re-release of a either a new version or just two patches would be
helpful to other here.
