It should be fine, assuming a new CPAN libwin32 and standalone Win32 get released before 5.8.9. If it were a non-core module that the "not be able to use" applied to, I can see reason to keep it out of maint, but the core Win32 *is* 0.27, and there's no reason the core should need to work with an older Win32. The installing-libwin32- downgrading-Win32 thing is just an artifact of the planned changes not being quite complete. Does this make sense?Thread Previous | Thread Next
