Thanks for reporting that.  I pushed the following change;
does it fix the bug for you?

Subject: [PATCH] autoscan: port to perl 5.17

* bin/autoscan.in (scan_sh_file): Escape '{'.  This avoids a
feature that is deprecated in Perl 5.17.  Reported by Ray Lauff in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2013-01/msg00059.html>.
