Further to my question of compatibility between 5.8.0 and 5.8.2, I was directed to the use of defining NO_HASH_SEED at compile time, which does indeed maintain compatibility of packages created with 5.8.2 when run under 5.8.0. So I was misunderstanding what binary compatibility means in this context - thanks, and sorry for the noise. -- best regards, randy kobesThread Next
