Umm, this may be a dumb question, but how can I tell in a hints file what version of perl is being built? Looking at the shell variables that are defined when the file is sourced, I can see nothing with the version number in it, except tmppwd -- and it's only there because of what I happened to call the top-level directory. Should I parse what I need out of patchlevel.h? Thanks. -- Dominic DunlopThread Previous | Thread Next
