With or without this patch. Sounds like another good reason to start enforcing a minimum modern Perl version. In the past, I advocated making it a minimum of 5.6, but now I think a minimum of 5.8 is in order. The first version of 5.8 was released in July of 2002, so I don't think we'd be upsetting very many people if we did so. Plus, they'd be potentially dumping core anyway, and our energy is better spent improving Pl/Perl itself at this point rather than tweaking things for old versions of Perl. I don't even think I have a pre 5.8 version around anymore. Would such a requirement cause any problems with packagers? I imagine a perl 5.8 prereq is a common thing these days... - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200712011322 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFHUaaevJuQZxSWSsgRA44LAJ9N47I0bIjjILxkOAAUv1ud0lDPAACdEX1J b3oIV+o0OPrT+RNW03WsGxg= =0I4i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
