Please try this patch, report results and the perl version you have,
and which email address you want in THANKS.  :-)

Thanks!

    Fix `use constant' usage for Perl 5.X.X.
    
    * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE, QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION)
    (QUEUE_STRING): Define using one `use constant' each; as perl
    5.X.X does not understand `use constant { ... }'.
    * THANKS: Update.
    Report by Peter Rosin.
