Description:   Opened: 2006-12-22 03:48 0000 
GNU gettext 0.15 introduced a bug in the Perl backend to xgettext.  To
reproduce create a sample Perl file test.pl:

$cat test.pl
#! /usr/bin/perl

sub __ { shift }
print gettext ("Dimensions: "), "$width x $height\n";
__END__
$ /usr/bin/xgettext test.pl
test.pl:4: invalid variable interpolation at "$"

xgettext fails here, although there is no illegal variable interpolation.

Fix Perl parser in xgettext

The patch is already applied upstream in GNU gettext 0.16.1 and fixes the
problem with the "illegal" variable interpolation.

easier to version bump then backport
