Perl 5.8.1 is not binary compatible with 5.8.0, which was not the intention and 5.8.2 will return to compatibility, hence my comment. There have been a few other things too, you can check the archives for details. My belief is that 5.8.1 is rather better than 5.8.0 as regards actual faults, and a lot of people are using it.

[snip] You'll have a lot of fun with that... :) Is it to be a new codebase too? If so then I don't think you'll need to worry about it at all, your own bugs will be much more troublesome than Perl's. 73, Ged. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
