automake14.patch

Now that the default Perl has been switched to 5.20, we should fix the automake14 port to work with this version.
 
To quote perl5200delta(1):
 
Incompatible Changes
   "do" can no longer be used to call subroutines
       The "do SUBROUTINE(LIST)" form has resulted in a deprecation warning
       since Perl v5.0.0, and is now a syntax error.

Patch attached.
Comment 1 Tijl Coosemans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-05-26 15:24:50 UTC 
Feel free to commit.  Do you still have a use for this port?  It isn't used by anything in the ports tree and I've been thinking of marking it deprecated.
Comment 2 Christian Weisgerber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-05-26 19:21:36 UTC 
No, I don't have a use for this port. I originally found and fixed this problem on OpenBSD.
