I'm trying to make use of Net::OpenVPN::DDNS as described here: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DynamicDNS but am running into the following error:

Code: Select all

Experimental shift on scalar is now forbidden at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/DHCP/DDNS/DHCID/rfc4701.pm line 78, near ");"

Has anyone else gotten this to work? Is there some other way to do DDNS updates to register the IPs of VPN clients?

Thanks for any help.

Looks like this was a missing ; on /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/DHCP/DDNS/DHCID/rfc4701.pm line 76. Fixed that and then got:

Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/OpenVPN/DDNS.pm line 249.
Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash or array (not subroutine entry) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/OpenVPN/DDNS.pm line 249, near "->clientids ) "

Fixed by making a hash of the presumed hashref:

foreach my $type ( keys %{$obj->clientids} ) {

Does not make me hopeful that anyone is using this code...
