With your fix and perl 5.005.02, at the beginning I get:

Useless use of a constant in void context at prog/detect/sensors-detect line 1345.

which doesn't s top the script, but later on (just after saying YES to ISA bus scan)

Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro O_BINARY, used at prog/detect/sensors-detect line 1343.

and the script stops. So how do we get this to work on older perls?
