"cpan -l" throws warnings #197
Description
Easy to miss in the long output:
cpan -l >/dev/null
Use of uninitialized value $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version::class in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 2121) line 7, <FILE> line 162.

Running CPAN-2.38, ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.76, and ExtUtils::ParseXS 3.60 (all the latest releases at this moment) on Perl 5.38.2 on Linux.
The eval makes debugging hard for me. But these may help: (the only references in my installation)
/home/perl/5.38.2/lib/site_perl/5.38.2/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm: package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version;
/home/perl/5.38.2/lib/site_perl/5.38.2/App/Cpan.pm: ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version;
The last line seems to come from:
XS/Install/ParseXS.pm: my $new_parsexs = $ExtUtils::ParseXS::VERSION >= 3.53;
