Hello -

We're trying to install demeter on a 32-bit system running Debian 9.2 
Stretch.  The 'perl Build.PL' and 'Build' run into no issues, but when we 
try running 'Build test' we get the following error messages:

t/001_base.t ............ String found where operator expected at
/home/kwiatal/sources/demeter-master/blib/lib/Demeter/Plot/Gnuplot.pm line
273, near "croak "Couldn't unlink $self->{__error_log}: $!""
         (Do you need to predeclare croak?)

The "croak" command not getting found appears to come from the "Carp" perl 
module - we have version 6.06-1 of the 'libcarp-clan-perl' package 
installed.  Any suggestions as to what's causing this error?  Again, the 
'perl Build.PL' command shows no issues with the installed modules, but 
since most of them were installed from the Debian repository, maybe 
there's a discrepancy with the modules installed when we run './Build 
installdeps'?

Thanks for any assistance -
