No, I haven't seen that.
Can you tell me what git tree you're working on?
My staging-next branch of staging.git on git.kernel.org
Also, can you use the scripts/checkpatch from -next tag next-20140711
that will take a bit to checkout, I'll do that afterward.
My system has:
$ perl --version
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for i686-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int (with 41 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
I think this started showing up for me for perl 5.20. Let me go checkout linux-next and see if that fixes anything or not... thanks, greg k-h
