Configuration error "Can't use 'defined(@array)'" starting OpenCA.

[kmorwath]

Running init.d/openca start, for a new clean installation, I get:

Configuration error: The loading of the command /opt/openca/lib/openca/cmds/ldapCreateCSR failed. Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at (eval 154) line 60, chunk 1.

OS: Ubuntu 16 LTS

Perl version: This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 58 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Simply removing defined looks to work.
