[ID 20010723.007] no versioning in filename of libperl.a
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from br@panix.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
On several systems that I use, /usr/local/bin/perl is not usually
the latest installed perl interpreter, because if it were, older
perl scripts would break.
However, /usr/local/lib/libperl.a is generally the latest, because
we have no option for it not to be -- this file's name contains no
version information.
The mismatch causes the build of INN to blow up. It may cause
other problems too, though I haven't seen any yet. INN's configure
script doesn't let me specify paths to a perl binary and a perl
library; I'm not sure it should, because every application that
uses both would have to do this, and if perl fixed the library
naming, it wouldn't be necessary.
[Please do not change anything below this line]
