Software Error upgrading to 1.1.2

I have foswiki 1.0.9 running well on solaris 10, apache 2.2.8, perl 5.8.4. I'm trying to upgrade to foswiki 1.1.2. I've untarred installation files to new directory. I've copied LocalSite.cfg over from my 1.0.9 setup. I've cleaned up all errors and warnings flagged by configure. When I try to display the default Main topic that comes with the installation, I get this error...

I don't know if it's related to this failure, but I don't believe we recommend use of any perl older than 5.8.8 for Foswiki 1.1, And most of our testing is now on 5.10 and 5.12.

For Foswiki 1.1, it is probably better to not migrate your LocalSite.cfg. It should be backwards compatible, but it is definitely cleaner to reconfigure. Could you remove your LocalSite.cfg file and run bin/configure steps to create a new default configuration to see if the problem remains?

The old LocalSite.cfg was apparently not compatible. I removed the file and ran configure to recreate it from scratch. The error is gone. I can view the default Main topic now. Thanks for your help.
