Hello David, yes, I had understood that, but I failed to be more explicit about the problems with legacy platforms:
Often, newer modules are not installed on them, AND/OR newer modules may not even work on legacy platforms due to their using Perl features which are newer and not available on older platforms. For instance, I am regularly testing all my modules with Perl 5.005_03 before each release. And they still work on it. Out of the box. Cheers, Steffen P.S.: In the meantime, I have adopted the proposed solution with ExtUtils::CBuilder. See also the attached Makefile.PL. 2009/10/14 David Cantrell <da...@cantrell.org.uk> > On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:01:56PM +0200, O.
