Message:

When testing GS3.08's GLI on Ubuntu v 16.04, found its perl v 5.22.1 issued warnings about unescaped left brace in regex. As per ​https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/238539/automake-error-unescaped-left-brace-in-regex-is-deprecated, in even later versions of perl, this counts as a syntax error rather than resulting in a warning. So making the minimum number of changes that allowed perl to parse the plugins and open GLI successfully, without issuing warnings on perl 5.22.1 on this Ubuntu 16.04.
