Huh.  That line is

    typedef enum { LOCK_READ, LOCK_WRITE, LOCK_UNLOCK } LOCKTYPE;

and I suppose that error means that one of these things has been defined 
previously.  I can't imagine how changing Perl versions would affect this, 
though -- since no Perl headers have even been included at that point in 
the file.

These are the normal warnings from compiling embedded Perl.
