And newer versions of Test::Simple/Test::More still work with very old versions of perl. jacana runs prove with perl 5.8.8 but has Test::More 1.001014 So I agree 0.98 seems like a perfectly reasonable target. You should be able to drop a replacement on prairiedog quite simply. For jacana I just unpacked it and pointed PERL5LIB at it. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
