Dear owner of one or more dual-life CPAN/bleadperl modules,
By using some recently developed tools that allow me to compare a CPAN
distribution with the allegedly equivalent one bundled with bleadperl,
I have now drawn up a list of all significant deviations, and I am
contacting all dual life authors which this effects. For two reasons:
Firstly to point out any such differences, with a general "wouldn't it be
great if blead and CPAN could get back in sync at some point" sentiment
attached.
Second, I am specifically trying to get the bundled modules in a fit state
to be included in 5.10.1. I'll explicitly mention it below if this affects
one of your modules. Note that the time-frame for significant changes to
be incorporated into 5.10.1 is now in the order of a week or two [Yes,
I've been saying this for months, but this time I really mean it. Maybe... ]
Thanks,
Dave
Storable
Back last september, a new file was added to blead by e6a5675bfd:
ext/Storable/hints/hpux.pl, which hasn't found its way into 2.20.
I guess it needs including in a release at some point.
